FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the goose down insulation?
The goose down insulation provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning it's very warm without being excessively bulky, keeping you comfortable in cold conditions.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a seam-sealed design and an Aquaguard zipper, offering high water resistance to protect against rain and snow. However, it is not considered fully waterproof for prolonged submersion.
How should I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to dry clean the jacket. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the down insulation and the shell fabric.
What does the 'relaxed fit' and 'cropped length' mean?
A relaxed fit means the jacket is cut with more room than a standard fit, offering comfort and ease of movement. The cropped length means it is shorter than a traditional jacket, typically ending around the natural waist.
Are the TNF x SKIMS logos durable?
The logos are embroidered, which is a durable method of application that should withstand normal wear and proper care.
What materials are used in the jacket?
The body and lining are made from 100% nylon, while the pockets are made from 100% polyester. The insulation is goose down.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Down feathers are escaping from seams.
Some minor feather loss is normal with down-filled products. If excessive, check seams for any small tears or holes. Do not pull on escaping feathers; gently tuck them back in if possible.
Jacket has lost some of its loft/warmth.
The down may be compressed or slightly matted. Gently tumble dry on a low, no-heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-fluff the insulation.
