FAQs
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses 60g Primaloft® Black Eco insulation, which is made from 100% recycled materials.
Is the jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is not fully waterproof. It features a PFC-free DWR treatment that provides protection against light rain and snow, but it is intended to be layered under a waterproof shell for heavier precipitation.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does 'bluesign® certified' mean?
Bluesign® certification indicates that the textile manufacturing process is safe and reduces waste at every stage of the supply chain, ensuring a more environmentally responsible product.
Can I wear this jacket as an outer layer?
It can be worn as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions. However, for protection against wind and significant rain or snow, it is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof and windproof shell.
What are raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves have a diagonal seam running from the underarm to the collarbone, offering greater freedom of movement and a comfortable fit compared to traditional set-in sleeves, especially during activities requiring overhead arm motion.
What is a PFC-free DWR treatment?
PFC-free DWR means the Durable Water Repellent treatment applied to the fabric does not contain per- or poly-fluorinated chemicals, which are often used for water resistance but can be harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth
Ensure you are layering correctly with a suitable base layer. Check that the DWR treatment is still effective; re-applying a DWR finish may be necessary if performance has degraded.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be applied to the teeth.
Material feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a gentle cycle and liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore loft to the insulation.
