FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a non-PFC DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which makes it water-repellent in light rain or snow, but it is not waterproof.

How should I wash my Hydrenalite Down Jacket?

Use a gentle cycle with a specialized down cleanser. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to maintain the loft of the down.

What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?

It means the water-repellent coating used is free of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.

Are the materials recycled?

Yes, both the outer nylon fabric and the lining are constructed from recycled materials, and the insulation consists of recycled waterfowl down.

Does the hood detach?

No, the three-piece hood is permanently attached to the jacket to ensure it stays in place and provides maximum protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers poking through fabric

This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out, then rub the fabric to realign the weave.

Jacket feels flat after washing

Ensure it is tumble-dried with dryer balls to redistribute the down; if air-dried, shake and pat the jacket periodically throughout the drying process.

Water is no longer beading on the surface

The DWR finish may need reactivation. Clean the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat as per care instructions, or consider applying a DWR re-waterproofing spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight yet highly insulating design
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to raglan sleeves
  • Environmentally conscious use of recycled materials
  • Secure storage with zippered hand pockets
  • DWR coating offers good protection in light precipitation

Cons

  • Water repellency is limited to light rain or snow
  • Requires careful washing to maintain down loft
  • Not intended for extreme high-moisture environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is ready for immediate use out of the packaging. When caring for the garment, always follow the care label instructions to preserve the integrity of the recycled down. It is generally recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with a dedicated down detergent and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and restore its loft. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the DWR coating. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it, and store it in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a hanger to prevent the insulation from remaining compressed for long periods.
