FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Iris 22 Alyssa is described as water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What is Plumtech padding?
Plumtech is Save The Duck's proprietary synthetic insulation designed to mimic the thermal properties of down feathers while being lightweight, breathable, and animal-free.
How do I pack the jacket into its pouch?
Typically, you would fold the jacket neatly, starting with the sleeves, and then roll or fold it to fit into the provided pouch. Specific folding instructions may be included on a garment tag or the product packaging.
What does 'Trapeze silhouette' mean for the fit?
A trapeze silhouette is wider at the hem than at the shoulders, creating an A-line shape. This offers a relaxed fit that drapes away from the body.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
The jacket is designed for transitional seasons (spring and autumn). While it offers lightweight insulation, it may not be warm enough for harsh winter conditions without significant layering underneath.
What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof?
Water-repellent fabric will shed water, causing it to bead up and roll off. Waterproof fabric is designed to prevent any water penetration, even under pressure or prolonged exposure.
Troubleshooting
Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, which can cause damage.
Water repellency seems reduced.
After washing and drying according to care instructions, consider using a fabric-specific water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product's application instructions carefully.
Jacket appears creased after unpacking.
Hang the jacket on a clothes hanger and allow it to air out. A gentle steam from a clothes steamer or a very low-heat iron on the reverse side (through a protective cloth) may help remove stubborn creases, but always check the care label first.
Jacket feels less insulated than expected.
Ensure the Plumtech padding is not compressed. The insulation works best when it has loft. Check that the jacket is properly fastened and that there are no gaps allowing cold air to enter. For colder weather, layer additional warm clothing underneath.
