FAQs
What is the temperature rating for this jacket?
The jacket is tested for thermal performance down to -35°C, making it suitable for extreme cold conditions.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
Can I remove the faux fur trim?
The faux fur detailing is usually attached and may be removable depending on the specific design. Please check the garment's tags or a detailed product description for removal instructions.
How do I wash this down jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a down-specific detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. Ensure the faux fur trim is handled according to its specific care instructions, which may involve removal before washing.
What does 'down-proof lining' mean?
A down-proof lining is a tightly woven fabric that prevents the fine down feathers from escaping the jacket, ensuring consistent insulation and maintaining the jacket's loft.
Is this jacket suitable for high-activity sports?
While warm, this jacket is designed for warmth and protection against cold weather. For high-intensity activities where breathability is paramount, consider a jacket with specific moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the down has been properly dried and fluffed after washing. Check that all zippers and closures are fully secured to prevent drafts. If the water repellency has diminished, consider re-applying a DWR treatment.
Feathers are escaping from the jacket.
This is uncommon with a down-proof lining. If minor leakage occurs, it usually stops on its own. However, if significant leakage persists, contact customer support.
Faux fur trim looks matted.
Gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush. If necessary, hand wash the trim gently with mild soap and water, then air dry it. Avoid machine washing the trim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. It is recommended to wash with a small amount of down-specific detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Adding a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls can help to break up clumps of down and restore loft.
- Faux Fur Trim: The faux fur trim may need to be removed before washing. Spot clean or hand wash the trim separately if needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket tightly for extended periods to maintain the down's loft.
- Water Resistance: The water-resistant treatment may diminish over time. Re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning can help restore its performance.
