FAQs
What is Primaloft insulation?
Primaloft is a synthetic insulation that offers excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, is highly water-resistant, and retains insulating ability even when wet, mimicking the properties of down without the bulk.
How do I detach the sleeves?
The sleeves are detached via zippers located at the shoulder/armpit area. Carefully unzip the sleeve to remove it.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for cool to moderately cold weather due to its Primaloft insulation and protective collar. For extreme cold, layering may be necessary.
What is the fit like?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit, with articulated sleeves and a back yoke construction intended to move with you. The detachable lower sleeves offer further styling adjustments.
What material is the jacket made from?
The primary material is polyester, with a fleece inner gaiter in the collar for added comfort.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Iron on a cool setting if needed. Avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective
Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a water-repellent spray designed for apparel after washing and drying.
Detachable sleeves are hard to reattach
Align the zipper carefully on the sleeve with the corresponding zipper on the jacket body. Ensure both zippers are clean and free of debris before attempting to zip them together.
Jacket feels bulky despite Primaloft
Primaloft is designed to be low-bulk, but ensure the jacket is the correct size for a comfortable fit. Check that the inner gaiter and collar are not excessively bunched.
