FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a DWR water-resistant finish, meaning it is resistant to light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Yes, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners.
What does -30C thermal testing mean?
The garment has been laboratory-tested to ensure the insulation can maintain core body warmth in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius.
Does the hood detach?
No, this jacket features a grown-on (fixed) hood.
How should I store this jacket?
Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the insulation remains lofted.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a spray-on DWR treatment suitable for polyester outerwear.
Jacket feels less warm over time.
The internal padding may have clumped. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the internal insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The jacket features a standard full-zip front for immediate use. To maintain the effectiveness of the thermal insulation and the water-resistant coating, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish. For drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls if possible to help redistribute the padding evenly.
