Product Information

Full details

The Fusalp Charloy Down Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a blend of retro style and technical performance for both ski trips and casual wear. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth with its synthetic down insulation and a water-repellent shell, while its caveat is the intentionally oversized fit which may require sizing down for a more regular look.

FAQs

How do I choose the right size given the oversized fit?

The jacket has an intentionally oversized fit. If you prefer a more standard or less baggy silhouette, we recommend choosing one size down from your usual size. Refer to the product's size chart for specific measurements.

What is the difference between the water-repellent shell and fully waterproof?

The water-repellent shell effectively repels light rain and snow, preventing moisture from soaking into the fabric. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, a fully waterproof garment might be necessary, but this jacket offers excellent protection for typical winter weather and snow sports.

Can I use fabric softener when washing the jacket?

No, fabric softener should not be used as it can degrade the technical properties of the fabric, including its water repellency and breathability.

How important is the step of using tennis balls during drying?

Using 3 tennis balls in the dryer is recommended to help redistribute and fluff the synthetic down insulation. This prevents clumping and helps the jacket regain its optimal loft and warmth after washing.

What is the purpose of the storm cuffs with thumbholes?

The storm cuffs are designed to create a tight seal around your wrists, preventing cold air and snow from entering the sleeves. The integrated thumbholes keep the cuffs securely in place and provide extra coverage for your hands.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features a fixed adjustable hood, allowing you to cinch it tighter for better protection against wind and weather when needed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully dry after tumble drying.

Ensure you removed the jacket immediately after the cycle ended. Try using additional tennis balls and running a shorter, low-heat cycle if needed. Reactivate water repellency via ironing if the outer shell feels less hydrophobic.

Reduced water repellency.

This can occur over time with wear and washing. Follow the instructions for reactivating water repellency by ironing the outer shell (protected by a towel) at a low temperature without steam. If using a dryer, ensure it is used correctly with tennis balls.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure zippers are closed completely before washing. For stiffness, gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax (like beeswax or a graphite pencil) can sometimes help lubricate the teeth if the issue persists.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Close zippers before washing. Wash inside out using a quick machine wash cycle (maximum 30 minutes). Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat, removing the item immediately after drying. Use three tennis balls in the dryer to help fluff the synthetic down and maintain volume.
