FAQs
What type of down fill does this jacket use?
The jacket uses high-quality down fill, known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
While the jacket offers some water resistance, it is not designed as a waterproof outer layer. For heavy rain, consider pairing it with a waterproof shell.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
The jacket is designed with a men's fit (size M). Women may be able to wear it, but the fit will be looser and less tailored than a women's specific garment.
How do I know if the down is fully dry after washing?
The down should feel fluffy and not clumped together. If you feel any dampness or see clumps, continue tumble drying on low with clean tennis balls until completely dry.
What is the best temperature range for this jacket?
It's ideal for mild to moderately cold conditions, roughly between 40°F and 60°F (4°C to 15°C). For colder weather, it functions best as a layering piece under a heavier coat.
What does 'NSW' stand for in the product name?
NSW typically stands for Nike Sportswear, indicating this jacket is part of Nike's lifestyle and casual athletic apparel line.
Can I use regular detergent for washing?
It is recommended to use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can damage the down and affect its loft.
Troubleshooting
Down is clumping or losing loft after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and has been tumble dried on low with tennis balls. Repeat the drying process if necessary, as residual moisture can cause clumping. Make sure you used an extra rinse cycle to remove all detergent.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Check if the down has been compressed during storage. Gently fluff the jacket manually or repeat the tumble dry low process. Ensure no detergent residue remains, as this can reduce insulation effectiveness. Consider layering with additional clothing for colder temperatures.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
