FAQs

What type of insulation does the Charloy jacket use?

The Fusalp Charloy Down Jacket uses synthetic down insulation, which is designed to provide warmth even in cold and damp conditions.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a water-repellent shell and a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane, making it suitable for snowy and wet conditions. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof shell might offer more robust protection.

How do I clean the jacket?

It is recommended to close zippers, wash inside out on a quick machine cycle (max 30 minutes), and avoid bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry with tennis balls or iron the outer shell to reactivate water repellency. Dry cleaning is preferred for optimal care.

What does 'oversized fit' mean for this jacket?

An oversized fit means the jacket is designed to be intentionally roomy and have a relaxed silhouette. If you prefer a more fitted look, it's advisable to choose one size smaller than your usual size.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is fixed and adjustable, providing integrated protection.

What is the purpose of the storm cuffs?

The storm cuffs are designed to fit snugly around your wrists, often featuring a thumbhole, to prevent cold air from entering the sleeves and snow from getting inside.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than skiing?

Yes, while it is ski-ready, its warmth, water repellency, and stylish design make it suitable for various cold-weather outdoor activities and casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too large

The jacket has an intentionally oversized fit. For a more regular fit, consider purchasing one size down from your usual size.

Reduced water repellency after washing

Reactivate the water repellency by ironing the outer shell on a low setting (max 110°C without steam), using a towel as a protective layer. Alternatively, tumble dry the jacket with three tennis balls.

Synthetic down appears flat after drying

Ensure you tumble dry the jacket with 3 tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are closed before wear. For optimal fit, consider sizing down if a more regular silhouette is desired due to its intentionally oversized design.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult female wearers. Designed for use in cold weather, particularly for skiing and snowboarding, but also functional for general outdoor activities.

Care:

  1. Washing: Close zippers before washing. Wash inside out using a quick machine wash cycle (maximum 30 minutes).
  2. Detergents: Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat; remove immediately after drying. Add 3 tennis balls to the dryer to help restore the loft of the synthetic down insulation.
  4. Water Repellency Reactivation: If not using a dryer, iron the outer shell at a maximum of 110°C without steam, protecting the fabric with a towel. This helps reactivate the water-repellent treatment.
  5. Professional Care: Dry cleaning is recommended for the best and most thorough care of the garment.
