FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 80% down filling?
The 80% down filling provides excellent natural insulation, offering a high warmth-to-weight ratio, making the jacket very warm without being heavy.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
One of the jacket's pockets is designed to act as a stuff sack. Turn this pocket inside out, then begin folding and stuffing the jacket into the pocket until it is fully contained.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
While the polyamide shell offers some water resistance, this down jacket is primarily designed for warmth and is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it is best used as a warm layer under a waterproof outer shell.
What are the dimensions of the pockets?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to be functional for carrying essentials like a phone or wallet, with zip fastenings for security.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the 80% down filling provides significant warmth suitable for cold days. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulation might be recommended.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Down jackets do not need frequent washing. Wash only when visibly dirty or when the loft significantly decreases. Over-washing can damage the down's insulating properties.
What does 'Grown on Hood' mean?
'Grown on Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket, rather than being a detachable accessory.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses loft after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls. Repeat the drying cycle if necessary. Avoid over-drying.
Jacket seems less warm than before.
Check if the down has become compacted or if moisture has affected its loft. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying to restore loft. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up to trap heat.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Gently try to clear any fabric caught in the zipper. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it feels stiff. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Down feathers are escaping.
Minor feather leakage can occur. If significant leakage is observed, check seams for damage. Minor escapes can often be handled by gently pulling the feather back through the fabric from the inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
As an apparel item, the Digby jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure you unfurl it from its packed state before wearing to allow the down to loft.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as outerwear for men. It can be layered with various types of base and mid-layers. The polyamide shell is generally compatible with most outdoor gear.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the warmth and loft of the down filling, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps of down and restore its loft. It may take several cycles to dry completely.
- Storage: Store the jacket loosely in a breathable bag or laid flat, not compressed, to preserve the down's insulation properties when not in use.
