FAQs

What is the temperature rating for this jacket?

The Isla Women's Short Extreme Down Jacket is tested for thermal performance down to -35°C.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.

What does RDS certified mean?

RDS certified means the down and feathers used in the jacket come from farms that have been independently audited to meet high standards of animal welfare.

Can I detach the faux fur trim?

Yes, the faux fur trim on the hood is typically detachable, allowing for easier cleaning of the jacket and trim separately.

How do I wash my down jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent, and tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft. Refer to the care label for detailed instructions.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket features a down filling and a down-proof lining. The outer material is designed to be water-resistant, and it includes faux fur detailing.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme sports?

While offering excellent warmth, its design is more suited for general cold-weather activities and casual wear. For high-exertion sports in extreme conditions, specialized technical gear might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are escaping from the jacket.

This is uncommon due to the down-proof lining. If a few feathers appear, gently pull them back into the jacket from the opposite side rather than pulling them all the way through. If significant leakage occurs, contact customer support.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is properly fastened and the hood is adjusted. Check that the down has not become compacted; if so, follow drying instructions to re-fluff. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath.

Water resistance is reduced.

The water-resistant treatment may wear off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions.

Faux fur trim is matted or damaged.

Gently brush the faux fur with a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush. If detached, hand wash the trim in cool water and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat.

Pros and Cons

  • Water-resistant material offers protection from precipitation.
  • High-quality down filling provides excellent insulation.
  • RDS certification ensures ethical sourcing of down.
  • Stylish design with faux fur trim and adjustable hood.

  • Short length may not provide full coverage for all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women. Its primary compatibility is with cold weather conditions. It layers well over base and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and performance of your down jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. It is recommended to wash the jacket alone or with similar colors.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-fluff the down and prevent clumping.
  3. Faux Fur Trim: The faux fur trim can typically be detached for washing. Hand wash the trim separately or follow specific care instructions on the garment label. Do not machine dry the faux fur.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can reduce the down's loft.
