FAQs
What is Primaloft insulation?
Primaloft is a synthetic insulation technology designed to mimic the softness and warmth of down feathers while providing superior water resistance and breathability. It offers excellent thermal performance even when damp.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. It is not designed as a fully waterproof garment for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood is adjustable for a secure fit. Look for drawcords or toggles around the hood opening to tighten or loosen it as needed. When not in use, it can be stowed away.
What material is the jacket made of?
The shell is primarily made of 100% recycled polyester with a water-repellent finish. The insulation is Primaloft, and the lining is also recycled polyester. Specific components like the inner neck gaiter and cuffs have their own material compositions.
How do I care for the fleece neck gaiter?
The inner fleece neck gaiter can be cleaned by hand or on a gentle cycle with cool water. Avoid high heat when drying to prevent shrinkage or damage to the fleece.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for cool to mild conditions. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over additional insulating garments.
What does 'loose fit' mean for this jacket?
A loose fit means the jacket is cut with extra room around the body and sleeves, offering a relaxed feel and allowing for easy layering. It is not a tight or tailored fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth
Ensure the Primaloft insulation is not compressed. Layer with additional thermal clothing underneath for colder conditions.
Water repellency seems reduced
Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary after significant wear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Sleeves are difficult to detach or reattach
Ensure the zippers are fully unzipped before attempting to detach. Align the sleeve zipper carefully before reattaching and zipping up.
