Polo Ralph Lauren Down Jacket - Green - S

Yes, the Polo Ralph Lauren Down Jacket features a removable padded hood, allowing you to adapt its style and functionality as needed.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Crucially, tumble dry on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the down's loft and prevent clumping. This drying process can take several hours.

The jacket's recycled polyester shell offers resistance to light moisture and wind, making it water-resistant. However, it is not fully waterproof, so for heavy rain, an additional waterproof layer is recommended.

'RDS certified' stands for Responsible Down Standard. It means that the down and feathers used in the jacket come from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm, such as force-feeding or live-plucking, ensuring ethical sourcing.

To maintain the down's loft, it's best to store your jacket hung in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can flatten the down and reduce its insulating properties.

It is not recommended. Regular detergents can strip down feathers of their natural oils, reducing their loft and insulating effectiveness. Always use a mild, down-specific cleaner for best results.

This jacket is ideal for cool to cold weather conditions, offering significant warmth through its down and feather insulation. It performs best in dry environments or with light precipitation, thanks to its water-resistant outer shell.

This is common with down jackets. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with 3-5 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up the wet down clumps and redistribute the fill evenly, restoring the jacket's loft. This process may take several hours.

First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it's still stiff, gently rub a graphite pencil (or specific zipper lubricant) along the teeth of the zipper. This can help lubricate the mechanism and allow for smoother operation.

Occasional feather leakage is normal for down-filled garments. Avoid pulling feathers out, as this can enlarge the hole. Instead, gently push them back in from the reverse side. If leakage is excessive, inspect for small tears or loose seams; small tears can often be repaired with a fabric patch or specialty repair tape.
