Does the hood adjust?
The hood features elasticated binding for a snug, secure fit, but it does not have a mechanical drawcord adjustment.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
It provides great warmth, but for extreme temperatures, it is best utilized as a thermal mid-layer beneath a windproof, waterproof shell.
What material is used for the outer shell?
The outer shell is constructed from durable nylon, providing a balance of lightweight performance and wind resistance.
Where should I store my phone?
The jacket includes an integrated interior mobile storage pocket specifically designed to keep electronics secure and warm.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels clumped after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff and redistribute the synthetic insulation.
Water no longer beads off the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider applying a spray-on technical fabric re-waterproofing treatment after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed as a standalone piece or a mid-layer. To ensure longevity, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should machine wash in cool water using a mild detergent specifically formulated for synthetic insulated garments. Do not use fabric softener, as this can degrade the water-resistant coating. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with dryer balls, to help redistribute the synthetic T-down insulation evenly. Avoid dry cleaning or ironing.
