FAQs

Is this hoodie suitable for heavy rain?

The Aconcagua 3 Hoodie has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended.

What is the fill made of?

The main body insulation is a 50/50 blend of 600-fill waterfowl down and polyester. Zoned areas use polyester sheet insulation for warmth in wet conditions.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

The hoodie is designed for a true-to-size, regular fit. It is recommended to order your usual size. Consult the brand's size chart for specific measurements if unsure.

Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?

It provides good warmth for cool to cold conditions. For temperatures significantly below freezing, consider layering with additional insulating garments.

How often should I wash the hoodie?

Wash only when necessary to maintain the integrity of the insulation and water-repellent finish. Follow the care label instructions for optimal results.

Does it have a detachable hood?

No, the hood is attached and features an adjustable cinch-cord for a customizable fit.

Troubleshooting

Hood fit is loose

Adjust the cinch-cord and cord lock on the back of the hood for a snugger fit.

Zipper is sticking

Gently pull the zipper while applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth, or use a specialized zipper lubricant.

Reduced insulation loft after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the insulation.

Water repellency has decreased

Apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofer spray according to the product's instructions after washing and drying.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for extreme cold without additional layers.
  • Regular fit might not suit those preferring an oversized or very snug style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This hoodie requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package.

Compatibility: Designed for women, it fits true to size. Refer to the size chart for accurate selection. It layers well over base layers and under heavier winter jackets.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Follow the specific instructions on the product label carefully. Generally, use a gentle cycle with cold water.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore loft to the down insulation. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods to maintain insulation quality.
