Product Information
Full details
The Colmar Puffer Jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight, insulated warmth for cold-weather activities and everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing significant insulation without bulk, thanks to down filling and a water-repellent finish. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very slim or oversized silhouette. This jacket features a quilted design, a fixed hood, and multiple zipped pockets for practical storage.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?
While the down insulation provides excellent warmth, for extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to layer the jacket with a thermal base layer and a warm mid-layer for optimal protection.
How do I clean the jacket if it gets dirty?
It is best to machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and then tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore the down's loft.
What does 'water-repellent treatment' mean?
This means the jacket's outer fabric has a coating that causes water to bead up and roll off, protecting you from light rain or snow. It does not make the jacket waterproof.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The jacket is treated to be water-repellent, making it suitable for light rain or snow. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate.
What is the fill power of the down insulation?
The product information specifies 90% duck down and 10% duck feathers, which offers good insulation. Specific fill power (e.g., 700 or 800) is not provided but it is designed for lightweight, insulating warmth.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, preferably hung or loosely folded. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state to preserve the down's loft.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears flat or has lost loft
Place the jacket in a tumble dryer on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The agitation will help to break up clumps and restore the down's loft.
Water is not beading on the surface
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash according to the product instructions.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels damp after washing
Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried in a tumble dryer on low heat. Down can take longer to dry completely than synthetic fills. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Colmar Puffer Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a small amount of mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the down insulation and restore its loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before removing it from the dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods, as this can damage the down.
- Repellent Treatment: Reapply a water-repellent finish after several washes or if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the re-treatment spray.
