FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 80% down filling?

The high percentage of down provides excellent insulation and warmth relative to the jacket's weight, making it very effective for cold conditions without being bulky.

How do I pack the jacket for travel?

The jacket comes with a stuff sack feature integrated into one of its pockets. You can fold or roll the jacket and stuff it into this pocket for compact storage.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a polyamide shell which offers some resistance to light moisture. However, it is not designed for heavy rain and is best used in dry or lightly damp conditions, or as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the down. If using a machine, select a delicate cycle with a down-specific detergent and ensure a thorough rinse.

How do I maintain the jacket's loft?

After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumping of the down and restore its natural loft and insulating properties.

What are the dimensions of the pockets?

The product details specify '3 Low Profile Zip Pockets' but do not provide exact dimensions. They are designed for securely storing essentials like keys, a phone, or a wallet.

What does 'Packaway' mean in the product name?

'Packaway' refers to the jacket's ability to be easily compressed and stored in its own integrated stuff sack, making it highly portable.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses loft after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Use a tumble dryer on a low heat with tennis balls to help break up clumps of down and restore loft. Repeat drying if necessary.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Down feathers are escaping through the fabric

This can occasionally happen with down-filled products. Gently pull any protruding feathers back through the fabric from the inside. If excessive, contact customer support.

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure the jacket is dry and the down has been re-lofted. Check that the cuffs and hem are tightened to prevent drafts. Consider wearing it as a mid-layer under a more windproof or waterproof outer shell for maximum insulation.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: While designed for adult males, the adjustable cuffs and hem drawcord allow for a versatile fit. It can be worn as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions or as a mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof jacket.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash is recommended. Use a specialized down wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not dry clean.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-distribute the down and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods when not in use to maintain the down's loft.
