Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is water-resistant. It features a DWR finish that repels light rain and snow, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained rain.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with a front-loading machine and a down-specific detergent. Always tumble dry on low with dryer balls.

What does 600 fill power mean?

It refers to the quality of the down. A 600 fill power indicates a high level of thermal insulation and loft, providing excellent warmth without excess weight.

Does the hood come off?

No, the hood is permanently attached for maximum protection against the elements.

Is the down sustainably sourced?

Yes, the jacket uses recycled waterfowl down, which helps reduce waste while providing high-performance insulation.

How should I store the jacket in the off-season?

Store it in a breathable garment bag or hanging in a closet. Avoid keeping it compressed in a small bag for long periods to preserve the down's structure.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers poking through fabric

This is common with down products; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it all the way out, then rub the fabric to close the hole.

Jacket feels flat or less warm

The down may have lost its loft. Tumble dry the jacket on low with dryer balls for 20-30 minutes to restore volume.

Water no longer beading on the surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a specialized DWR spray treatment to the exterior fabric.

  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled insulation
  • Effective water-repellent finish for unpredictable weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Hydrenalite Jacket, proper care is essential, especially regarding the down insulation. When cleaning, always use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a dedicated down cleaner to maintain the loft of the feathers. Avoid bleach or heavy detergents that can strip the water-resistant coating. For drying, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and prevent clumping. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it in a storage bag for extended periods, as this can damage the insulation's ability to trap heat.
