FAQs
What does 'RDS Certified' mean?
RDS (Responsible Down Standard) Certified means the down and feathers used in the jacket come from farms that are certified to meet rigorous animal welfare and traceability requirements.
How warm is this jacket, exactly?
The jacket is tested for thermal performance down to -35°C, indicating it is designed for very cold conditions.
Is the faux fur trim removable?
Based on the description, the faux fur detailing is part of the hood design and is not specified as removable.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket is described as water-resistant, which means it can handle light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What type of detergent should I use for washing?
It is recommended to use a down-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the down insulation.
How do I ensure the down dries properly?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls. It may take several cycles to ensure the down is completely dry and fully re-lofted.
What is the length of the 'short' style?
The description refers to it as a 'short' jacket. Specific measurements would typically be found on the product's size chart on the retailer's website.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are escaping
This is uncommon due to the down-proof lining. If minor escape occurs, gently pull the feather back through the fabric from the opposite side. If significant leakage persists, contact customer support.
Jacket has lost loft and warmth
The down filling may have clumped. Follow the washing and drying instructions carefully, ensuring to tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute and re-fluff the down.
Water-resistant finish is no longer effective
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish suitable for down jackets according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently rub a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your down jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Ensure all zippers are closed and pockets are empty.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It may be beneficial to add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-fluff the down filling.
