FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is made with water-resistant fabric, which is effective against light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over the jacket.
How do I ensure I choose the correct size?
It is advised to consult the Mountain Warehouse sizing chart provided on their website. Measuring your chest, waist, and hips and comparing them to the chart will help you select the best fit. Some customers find the jacket runs small, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer thicker items underneath.
Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. It is crucial to tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore the loft of the down filling.
What is the primary filling material?
The jacket is filled with a combination of down and feather, providing warmth and insulation.
What does 'hydrophobic down' mean?
Hydrophobic down has been treated to resist moisture. This means it will absorb less water and retain more of its insulating properties compared to untreated down when exposed to damp conditions.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
For long-term storage, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed in a stuff sack, as this can reduce the loft of the down over time. Hanging it is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the down filling is evenly distributed. If the jacket has been compressed, tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to re-loft the filling. Check that all adjustable features are secured to prevent drafts.
Water beading less effectively
The water-resistant treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for down jackets. Follow product instructions carefully.
Jacket appears too tight or restrictive
Refer to the sizing guide for accurate measurements before purchase. If already owned, consider if a lighter base layer is needed or if the jacket is better suited for less active use.
