FAQs
Is the insulation real down?
No, it uses Thermarator synthetic insulation, which is made of 100% recycled polyester to mimic the warmth of down.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The Omni-Shield technology is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain or snow well, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent, and tumble dry low.
Is this jacket windproof?
The dense polyester shell and elastic cuffs provide excellent wind protection for daily city use.
Does it have an inside pocket?
This model features zippered hand pockets on the exterior, but please check the specific internal layout as designs may vary by production batch.
What temperature range is this jacket for?
It is designed as a versatile layer for everyday cold; it is perfect for late autumn through early spring city temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat to reactivate it, or consider applying a specialized DWR spray treatment.
Insulation feels uneven or lumpy after washing.
Dry the jacket again with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the synthetic fibers evenly throughout the baffles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle in a front-loading machine with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the Omni-Shield water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Adding clean tennis balls to the dryer can help maintain the even distribution of the synthetic insulation.
- Reactivation: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface, you can periodically tumble dry the jacket on low heat to help refresh the durable water repellent (DWR) properties.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the integrity of the insulation.
