Stradivarius Basic hooded puffer jacket - Black - S

The Stradivarius Basic Hooded Puffer Jacket provides good warmth for mild to moderate winter conditions or as a layering piece in colder climates. For very harsh or extreme winter weather, you may need a jacket designed for more intense cold, or plan to wear substantial layers underneath.

This jacket is designed for an adult female fit. Refer to Stradivarius's standard size guide, which typically aligns with your usual clothing size. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up for comfort.

Yes, this jacket is made of polyester and can typically be machine washed. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and tumble dry low with dryer balls.

While the polyester material offers some natural water resistance, this jacket is not described as fully waterproof. It will provide protection against light rain or snow, but it may become saturated in heavy downpours. For enhanced water repellency, you can use a suitable fabric protection spray.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Hang it in a closet or fold it neatly. To maintain its loft, avoid compressing it for extended periods if possible, especially if storing for the off-season.

Yes, the jacket features side pockets with a closure, providing a secure place for small items like keys, phone, or wallet, and to keep your hands warm.

This is common with puffer jackets. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up clumps of insulation and restore the jacket's loft. You may need several drying cycles, removing and fluffing the jacket by hand between cycles.

Gently pull the fabric near the zipper away from the teeth. If there's fabric caught, carefully remove it. For persistent sticking, rub a pencil lead (graphite) or a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.

This jacket is designed for basic to moderate warmth. For colder conditions, ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. Consider adding a thermal base layer or a thicker sweater. The adjustable hem can also be tightened to trap more body heat.

Polyester has some water resistance, but it's not fully waterproof. For minor marks, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For more significant spots, follow the full washing instructions. Consider applying a fabric protectant spray (suitable for polyester) to enhance water repellency, if desired.
