Troubleshooting
Down is clumping or losing loft.
Wash the jacket using a down-specific detergent and tumble dry it on low heat with clean tennis balls. This will help to redistribute the down and restore its loft.
Water is penetrating the jacket.
If the jacket is no longer repelling water, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.
Zippers are sticking.
Apply a zipper lubricant to the zippers to ensure smooth operation.
