FAQs
What is Primaloft insulation?
Primaloft is a synthetic insulation technology that mimics the warmth and softness of down but offers superior water resistance and compressibility. It provides warmth without bulk.
How do I detach the sleeves?
The sleeves detach via a zipper located at the shoulder. Simply unzip the sleeve to remove it.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or mist. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What does 'loose fit' mean for this jacket?
A loose fit means the jacket is designed to be worn with more room than a regular fit, offering a relaxed feel and allowing for layering underneath. It is not a tight or body-hugging style.
Can I wear this jacket for sports?
While the articulated sleeves allow for movement, the jacket is primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities. Its insulation may be too warm for high-intensity sports.
What materials are used in this jacket?
The jacket uses various materials including polyester (much of it recycled) for the shell, lining, and pockets, with a thermoplastic polyurethane inner. The padding is polypropylene, and the cuffs contain polyester and elastane.
How should I wash the jacket to preserve its features?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and do not iron or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the water-repellent properties.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective
The finish may need refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions (without fabric softener) and consider applying a suitable water-repellent spray or treatment designed for technical outerwear.
Jacket feels bulky
Ensure the Primaloft insulation is evenly distributed. Avoid over-compressing the jacket during storage. The design aims for warmth without bulk, so ensure it's not being compared to lighter-weight activewear.
Sleeve detachment mechanism is stiff
Check the zipper on the sleeve for any obstructions. Ensure both parts of the zipper are aligned before attempting to zip or unzip. Keep the zippers clean.
