Canada Goose Stratus Hooded Jacket - Blue - S

While the jacket provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for cool to moderately cold temperatures. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure to heavy snow, consider layering it under a more robust, waterproof outer shell or using a jacket with a higher fill power or synthetic insulation.

Use a down-specific detergent and wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls to maintain the down's loft and insulating properties.

The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which will protect you from light rain or drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

Fill power is a measure of the loft or 'fluffiness' of the down. 750 fill power indicates high-quality down that provides excellent insulation for its weight. Higher fill power means more trapped air and better thermal efficiency.

Ripstop polyester is known for its durability and resistance to tearing. The ripstop weave incorporates reinforcing threads at regular intervals to prevent tears from spreading, making it a robust material for outerwear.

Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-formed shaping at the elbow, allowing for a greater range of motion and flexibility. This means the jacket won't ride up when you raise your arms, providing comfort and unrestricted movement.

This specific model is designed with a men's regular fit. While women can wear men's styles, the sizing and cut will differ. Canada Goose may offer comparable women's models with tailored fits.

Ensure the down is fully lofted. If the jacket has been compressed, tumble dry on low with tennis balls to restore loft. Check that all zippers and cuffs are sealed to prevent drafts.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for technical outerwear.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to improve glide.

This can occasionally happen with down products. Gently push the feather back through from the inside. If it persists or is widespread, contact customer support as there may be a seam issue.
