FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for cool to cold conditions due to its Primaloft insulation. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood can typically be adjusted using drawcords located at the front or back. To remove the hood, look for a zipper or snap closure around the neckline and carefully detach it.
What is Primaloft insulation?
Primaloft is a synthetic insulation technology that offers excellent thermal performance and water resistance, providing warmth similar to down but with better performance when wet.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration from light rain or splashes. It is not waterproof, so it will not provide protection in heavy downpours.
How do I detach the lower sleeves?
The lower sleeves are typically detached via a zipper mechanism located at the bicep or shoulder area. Ensure the zipper is fully unzipped to remove them.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in various adult sizes, including XS, S, M, L, and XL. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced.
Re-apply a water-repellent treatment suitable for technical fabrics. Follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede water repellency.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure all zippers and closures are sealed properly to prevent drafts. Check that the hood and collar are adjusted correctly. Primaloft insulation is designed for moderate warmth; consider layering for colder temperatures.
Detachable sleeves are difficult to reattach.
Align the sleeve attachment points carefully before attempting to reattach. Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply gentle, consistent pressure to zip them back on.
Fleece gaiter feels stiff or matted.
Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid high heat drying; air dry or tumble dry on low. Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush after drying to restore its texture.
