FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the AeroLoft Technology?
AeroLoft Technology balances insulation with breathability, using down filling for warmth and perforations to allow excess heat and moisture to escape, preventing you from overheating during activity.
Is this jacket suitable for very wet conditions?
While the jacket offers some protection and warmth, it is primarily insulated with down, which loses its loft and insulating properties when thoroughly wet. It is best suited for cold, dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended.
How do I wash the jacket?
It's recommended to use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always check the specific care label on your jacket. Drying involves tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft.
Can I wear this jacket in temperatures below freezing?
Yes, the down-filled baffles provide significant warmth. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal base layers and mid-layers is advisable.
What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?
Packable means the jacket can be compressed and stored into a small volume, often into one of its own pockets or an included stuff sack, making it easy to carry when not in use.
What is the fill power of the down used in this jacket?
The product information does not specify the exact fill power rating of the down. However, it utilizes 90% Duck Down and 10% Feathers for warmth.
Is the fit suitable for layering?
The jacket features a regular fit and stretchy panels, designed to accommodate layering underneath for added warmth without feeling restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the down filling is evenly distributed. If it has become matted after washing, re-tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. Check that all closures are sealed to prevent drafts.
Zipper is difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket has an odor
Air out the jacket in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists after washing, ensure all detergent was rinsed out and the jacket is completely dry, as residual moisture can cause odors.
Down feathers are escaping
Minor leakage can occur, especially when new. Gently pull escaped feathers back through from the inside if possible. If significant leakage occurs, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no assembly or setup. It is designed for direct use. For care, it is recommended to follow the specific washing instructions on the garment's label to maintain the loft and performance of the down filling.
Washing Instructions (General Guidance - Always check label):
- Clean Pockets: Ensure all pockets are empty.
- Close Zippers: Zip up the jacket and fasten any Velcro.
- Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Consider using a front-loading machine as top-loaders with agitators can damage the baffles.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Run an extra rinse cycle to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the down and prevent clumping. This process may take several cycles.
- Avoid Bleach and Dry Cleaning: These can degrade the down and fabric.
Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods if possible to maintain loft.
