FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The outer shell of the jacket is made from 100% durable nylon, and the filling is 100% down.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, freezing temperatures?
Yes, the high-loft down filling is specifically designed to keep you warm even in freezing temperatures.
How should I wash this puffer jacket?
The jacket is machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild, down-specific detergent. It should be tumble dried on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.
What does 'standard fit' mean for this jacket?
A standard fit provides a comfortable, relaxed silhouette that is not too tight or too loose, allowing for easy movement and layering over other clothes.
Can I wear this jacket in light rain?
While the nylon material offers some water resistance, this jacket is primarily designed for warmth and is not a waterproof rain jacket. For heavy rain, a separate waterproof outer layer is recommended.
What is the benefit of the hood?
The integrated hood provides extra protection against wind and cold, enhancing overall warmth and comfort for your head and neck.
Is this jacket only for women?

Troubleshooting
Jacket loft seems reduced after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up clumps and restore the down's loft. Repeat drying cycles if necessary.
Visible down feathers escaping.
Some minor feather leakage is normal, especially when new. If significant leakage occurs, check seams for tears. Minor leaks can often be gently pulled back inside. Avoid sharp objects near the fabric.
Outer fabric appears stained.
Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. For larger stains, follow the machine washing instructions with a down-specific detergent. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the down is fully fluffed by drying as per care instructions. Check for any rips or tears in the fabric where heat might escape. Verify that the hood and cuffs are properly secured.
