FAQs

What is the fill power of the down?

The jacket has 550-fill down insulation, providing excellent warmth.

Is the jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It can withstand light rain and snow, but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How do I store the jacket during the off-season?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable storage bag, to maintain the down's loft and prevent compression.

Can I iron the jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the fabric and insulation. If needed, you can use a steamer on a low setting, but avoid direct contact.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a down-specific detergent. This type of detergent is specially formulated to clean down without damaging its natural oils.

What is WindWall™ technology?

WindWall™ technology is designed to reduce wind chill and improve comfort during outdoor activities.

Is the down ethically sourced?

Yes, the down is responsibly sourced.

Troubleshooting

Down is clumping after washing.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to restore loft and redistribute the down.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to the outer fabric. Follow the product instructions for application.

Zipper is sticking.

Lubricate the zipper with a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the hood drawcord to tighten the hood around your face.
