FAQs

What is the temperature rating for this jacket?

The Isla Down Jacket is tested for thermal performance down to an impressive -35°C, making it suitable for extreme cold weather.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged immersion or heavy downpours.

How should I clean the faux fur trim?

The faux fur trim can usually be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. If removable, check its specific care label. Avoid machine washing the trim directly.

Can I wear this jacket in mild winter weather?

While you can wear it, the jacket's extreme insulation might make it too warm for mild winter conditions. It is best suited for cold to very cold temperatures.

How do I restore the jacket's loft after washing?

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and re-fluff the down.

What does 'down-proof lining' mean?

A down-proof lining is a tightly woven fabric that prevents the fine down feathers from penetrating and escaping the jacket, ensuring consistent insulation.

Are there other color or size options available?

Yes, the Isla jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please refer to the product listings for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected

Ensure the down has been properly re-fluffed after washing and drying. Check that all zippers and closures are sealed completely to prevent drafts. The down may need time to loft back up if recently compressed.

Visible down feathers escaping

This may indicate a minor issue with the down-proof lining. If only a few feathers appear, gently pull them back into the jacket. Significant leakage might require professional repair.

Jacket material feels damp

The water-resistant treatment may have diminished. Consider re-applying a suitable waterproofing spray for outdoor apparel. Ensure the jacket is fully dried after any exposure to moisture.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Try lubricating the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.

  • Water-resistant material for protection against light precipitation.
  • Lightweight and comfortable due to down filling.

  • Practical features like down-proof lining and side pockets.

Cons

  • Short length may provide less coverage for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Isla Down Jacket requires no setup beyond wearing it. Ensure the zipper is fully functional and the adjustable hood and cuffs (if applicable) are set to your comfort.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for cold to extreme cold weather conditions. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for enhanced thermal regulation.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. It is recommended to wash with a few tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-fluff the down during the drying process.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls. This is crucial for restoring the loft and fluffiness of the down. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably hung or in a breathable garment bag. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to maintain down loft.
  • Cleaning Faux Fur: The faux fur trim can typically be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, carefully remove the trim if possible and follow its specific care label. If not removable, be cautious not to saturate the trim during jacket washing.
