FAQs
What does 'Open Box Grade A' mean for this jacket?
It means the jacket is new and has never been used. However, the original packaging may be damaged or have been replaced, and the item's seal might have been removed. The jacket itself is complete with all accessories and comes with a 12-month warranty.
How do I clean the down insulation?
Use a specific down wash and wash by hand or on a delicate cycle in a front-loading washing machine. Avoid detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly. Drying is crucial: tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls until completely dry and lofty.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features water-resistant down and a PFC-free DWR finish on the recycled nylon outer. It's suitable for light rain and snow, but for prolonged heavy downpours, a waterproof outer shell would be more appropriate.
What is the fill power of the down?
The jacket is filled with 700+ fill power RENU recycled down, providing excellent thermal insulation.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer fabric is 100% recycled nylon ripstop (Barrier AC Eco), and the lining is 100% recycled PEAQ Down ECO. The insulation is 100% recycled down.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
Yes, the high fill power recycled down and longer cut offer significant warmth, making it suitable for cold temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm garments is recommended.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
The jacket comes with a 12-month warranty.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the down insulation has been fully lofted. If recently washed, tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls until completely dry. Check for any significant damage to the fabric or seams.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a PFC-free DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing. Check for any tears or damage to the outer fabric.
Down is clumping inside the jacket.
This can happen after washing or if the jacket gets significantly damp. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls for an extended period to break up the clumps and restore loft.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and warmth. As an 'Open Box Grade A' item, it may arrive with the seal removed but is otherwise new and complete with all original accessories.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult women engaged in light to moderate outdoor activities. It pairs well with a variety of base layers and mid-layers for adaptable warmth.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash using a specific down wash or a mild detergent. Wash inside out, zip up all zips, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric conditioners or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps of down and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods, as this can damage the down's loft.
- Repairs: For small tears in the ripstop fabric, consider using a repair patch designed for outdoor gear. Ensure the patch is applied to a clean, dry surface.
