Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your puffer jacket. It is machine washable.
- Preparation: Before washing, ensure all zippers are closed and turn the jacket inside out.
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle with cold water. It's best to use a specialized down detergent or a mild, non-bleach detergent. Avoid using fabric softener.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The tennis balls will help to break up clumps of down, restoring the jacket's loft and ensuring even drying. This process can take several hours, and you may need to periodically remove the jacket, fluff it by hand, and return it to the dryer.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Avoid dry cleaning as the chemicals can damage the down fill and synthetic materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can flatten the down.
