FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the DryVent™ 2L shell?

The DryVent™ 2L shell provides a waterproof barrier against external moisture while allowing internal perspiration vapor to escape, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable.

How does the jacket handle cold and damp conditions?

It uses a combination of 600-fill recycled down in the lower body for superior warmth and Heatseeker™ Eco synthetic insulation in the upper body, hood, and sleeves, which retains insulating properties even when damp.

Is this jacket suitable for very heavy rain or snow?

Yes, the DryVent™ 2L shell and AquaGuard front zip are designed to offer substantial protection against moderate to heavy precipitation. For extreme conditions, ensuring all closures are sealed is key.

What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?

It refers to a 'Durable Water Repellent' finish that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly compared to older DWR treatments.

Can I layer effectively with this jacket?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate base layers and mid-layers comfortably, allowing you to adjust your warmth based on the conditions.

How do I best restore the insulation after washing?

After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any insulation clumps and restore the original loft and warmth.

What materials are used in the jacket's construction?

Both the outer shell and inner lining are made from 100% recycled polyester. The insulation includes 600-fill recycled waterfowl down and Heatseeker™ Eco synthetic insulation.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not shedding water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear after cleaning. Ensure no cleaning residues remain.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the YKK AquaGuard zip with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt. Apply a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant along the teeth.

Reduced loft or warmth in the down sections.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft to the down insulation.

Inconsistent fit despite adjustments.

Verify that the hood drawcord and cuff straps are properly tightened. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath, as the regular fit is designed to accommodate them.
