FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket is designed for cold weather, offering excellent warmth. It is also suitable for moderate rain and wind due to its water-repellent treatment and 10,000 mm water protection rating.

How should I clean the Long Bear Down Jacket?

The jacket requires professional wet cleaning only. It should not be washed, bleached, or tumble dried. Ironing should be done cold.

What is the filling of the jacket?

The jacket is filled with 90% duck down and 10% duck feather, providing significant warmth and insulation.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood features an adjustable drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against the elements.

What does the MVP rating mean?

MVP (Moisture Vapor Transmission) is a measure of breathability. A rating of 10,000 g/m2/24h indicates that the jacket allows a good amount of water vapor (sweat) to escape, helping to keep you comfortable.

Does the jacket have many pockets?

The jacket features two buttoned pockets for secure storage of personal items.

What are the distinctive Parajumpers design elements?

Key elements include the iconic Parajumpers patch on the sleeve and the signature yellow hook with a removable strap at the neck closure.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The hydrorepellent treatment may have diminished over time. Professional cleaning and re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment by a specialist may be required. Avoid home applications of waterproofing sprays unless explicitly recommended by Parajumpers for this garment.

Jacket feels less warm than usual

Down filling can clump over time or if exposed to prolonged moisture. Ensure the jacket is stored dry and consider professional cleaning, which can help to redistribute and loft the down.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers to the teeth, then work the zipper to smooth its action.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and performance of the Long Bear Down Jacket, adhere strictly to the following care guidelines:

  • Washing: Do not wash. Machine washing can damage the down filling and water-repellent treatment.

  • Ironing: Iron cold. If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
