FAQs
What is 650 Fill Power Down?
Fill Power is a measure of the loft or 'fluffiness' of the down. 650 Fill Power indicates that one ounce of down occupies 650 cubic inches of space, signifying good insulating ability for its weight.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which is effective against light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
For moderate cold, it offers good insulation. In very cold conditions, it can be effectively layered with warmer mid-layers or a shell jacket for added protection.
How do I ensure the down doesn't clump after washing?
Use a down-specific detergent and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This process helps to break apart any clumping and restore the down's loft.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is primarily made of polyester, with 650 Fill Power Down insulation.
How many pockets does this jacket have?
The jacket features two outer pockets and one inner pocket.
What is the intended gender for this jacket?
Based on the provided information, this specific variant (Green, S) is intended for men.
Troubleshooting
Down clusters appearing through fabric
This is normal for down products. Gently pull the down cluster back from the inside of the fabric or snip it carefully with scissors from the outside.
Jacket loses loft/insulation after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and that dryer balls were used during the tumble dry cycle to break up clumps and restore loft. Re-drying on low heat may be necessary.
Water repellency is reduced
The DWR treatment may need refreshing. Consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no assembly and is ready to wear upon purchase. Its primary compatibility is with standard apparel for layering. To maintain the performance and longevity of the down insulation and water-repellent treatment:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the down and prevent clumping.
- Storage: Store in a dry, breathable place. Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods to preserve the down's loft.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
