FAQs
What is Primaloft insulation?
Primaloft is a synthetic insulation technology that mimics the warmth, softness, and lightness of down while retaining its insulating properties even when wet. It's known for providing excellent warmth without bulk.
How effective is the water-repellent finish?
The water-repellent finish is designed to help fend off light rain and moisture. It is not intended for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can the sleeves be removed completely?
Yes, the lower sleeves are detachable, allowing you to convert the jacket into a vest for different styling options and temperature variations.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket's shell is made from 100% polyester (100% recycled), with inner layers and linings also predominantly made from recycled polyester. The padding is 100% polypropylene.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth due to its Primaloft insulation and is suitable for chilly conditions. For extreme cold, layering may be advisable.
How do I care for the detachable hood?
The hood is adjustable and can be stowed away. Follow the general care instructions for the jacket; avoid harsh cleaning methods that could damage the hood's material or attachment points.
What does 'articulated sleeves' mean?
Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-shaped elbows and extra material to allow for a greater range of motion and a more natural fit when your arms are bent.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or loses its water repellency.
This can occur after improper washing or drying. Ensure you are using the recommended cold wash and low tumble dry settings. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
Hood is not staying in place.
Ensure the hood is properly secured using its stow-away mechanism. Check for any debris or damage to the zipper or fastenings that attach the hood.
