FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, this jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which makes it water-resistant, suitable for shedding light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
What kind of insulation does the jacket use?
It uses premium feather-free synthetic down insulation, providing warmth without the use of animal feathers.
How should I wash this jacket?
Info needed: Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, synthetic insulated jackets should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dried on low with tennis balls to restore loft.
Does this jacket have a hood?
Yes, it comes with a grown-on hood that includes adjusters for a customizable fit and added protection from the elements.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides medium-weight warmth, making it ideal for cool to mild cold weather. For very cold winter conditions, it's recommended to wear it as a mid-layer or pair it with appropriate base layers for optimal warmth.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or re-applied. After washing (following care instructions), tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically for outdoor apparel.
Jacket feels less warm or insulation seems flat.
This can happen if the insulation clumps or compacts. Ensure proper washing and drying, especially using tennis balls in the dryer on a low heat setting to help fluff up the feather-free synthetic down insulation.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or even run a graphite pencil along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched.
The metallic finish is part of the fabric's design. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners. Gentle washing and careful handling will help preserve its appearance. For specific cleaning advice, refer to the garment's care label.

Care Instructions:

- Washing: Info needed: Always check the garment's care label first. Generally, for synthetic insulated jackets:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish.
- Drying: Info needed: Check care label. Typically:
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help restore the insulation's loft.
- Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Water Repellency: The DWR finish will diminish over time. If you notice water no longer beads off the fabric, you can re-apply a DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
- Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the insulation's loft.
