FAQs

How do I detach the sleeves?

The sleeves are attached via zippers. Locate the zipper at the shoulder/armhole seam and carefully unzip them to detach. Ensure you align and zip them back up securely when reattaching.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-repellent, offering protection against light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear may be advisable.

What is the best way to dry the down jacket after washing?

Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the loft of the down. It may require multiple cycles.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

The jacket provides warm down insulation, making it suitable for cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, consider layering with additional warm clothing underneath.

How do I maintain the ripstop fabric?

The ripstop fabric is durable. General care involves avoiding sharp objects and following the recommended washing and drying procedures. Regular cleaning helps maintain its integrity and appearance.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is designed for both performance and style. It's ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, casual city exploration, and suitable for apres-ski, offering protection and warmth in variable conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper on detachable sleeves is difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth. Check that the fabric is not caught in the zipper.

Down feathers are leaking through the fabric.

Minor leakage can occur, especially when new. Gently pull any protruding feathers back through from the inside. If significant leakage persists, there may be a seam issue, and professional repair or return may be necessary.

Jacket has lost its water-repellent properties.

The DWR coating wears off over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for down jackets following the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying the treatment.

Jacket feels less warm than before.

The down insulation may have become compressed or wet. Ensure the jacket is washed and thoroughly dried according to care instructions, using tennis balls in the dryer to restore loft. If the down is damaged, professional cleaning or replacement might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for a range of outdoor activities and casual wear. Its compatibility is primarily with personal style preferences and layering for different temperatures.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. It is recommended to wash with a few clean tennis balls to help maintain the loft of the down filling.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. It may take several cycles to ensure the down is completely dry. Add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the down.
  • Cleaning Zippers: Periodically check and clean the zippers, especially after exposure to dirt or salt, to ensure smooth operation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods to preserve the down's loft.
  • Water Repellency: For best results, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after several washes, following the product's specific instructions.
