FAQs

What is ILOFT Air fill?

ILOFt Air fill is a synthetic insulation material designed to be extremely lightweight, highly compressible, and provide warmth without bulk, making it ideal for active outdoor wear.

How do I know if this jacket is the right size?

Refer to standard sizing charts for men's apparel and consider your intended layering. The product is a size 'S' (Small).

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and snow. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

The jacket provides warmth without bulk and is windproof. For extremely cold conditions, it is designed to be layered with additional insulating items.

What does 'PFAS Compliant' mean?

PFAS compliant means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are a group of chemicals that have raised environmental concerns.

How durable is the SEAMSMART technology?

SEAMSMART technology is engineered for high durability using commercial-grade abrasion-resistant fabric, enhancing the jacket's lifespan and performance in challenging conditions.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Loss of insulation loft

Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore fullness.

Zipper stiffness

Gently clean the zipper with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil to the teeth.
