FAQs
What is the fill power of the down?
The jacket is filled with 90% down and 10% feather, with a total fill weight of approximately 75g. Specific fill power (FP) is not provided, but this composition ensures lightweight warmth.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is fixed and features a striped elasticated trim for a snug fit, but it does not have drawstrings for adjustment.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket has a glossy polyamide shell which may offer some water resistance, but it is primarily designed for cold and wind protection. It is not a waterproof jacket and is best suited for dry or light precipitation conditions.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features three zipped outer pockets (including one on the chest) and two internal pockets with velcro fastening.
What does '90/10 down quilting' mean?
This refers to the composition of the fill: 90% down and 10% feathers. This ratio typically indicates high-quality down, prioritizing softness and loft for superior insulation.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its loft?
Machine wash at 30°C and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help fluff the down. Avoid harsh detergents.
What is the material of the jacket shell?
The jacket shell is made of 100% polyamide, contributing to its glossy finish and durability.
Troubleshooting
Down clumping after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore loft.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Residual moisture can reduce the insulating properties of down. Check that all zippers are fully closed to prevent drafts.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it snags, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Water absorption instead of beading
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for down garments.
