FAQs
What is the fill power of the down?
The jacket is filled with 80% down and 20% feather, providing excellent insulation. Specific fill power (e.g., 600, 700) is not detailed in the product description.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is made from 100% polyamide shell and lining, offering water resistance. However, it is not fully waterproof and is best suited for dry, cold conditions or as a warm layer under a waterproof outer shell.
How do I use the stuff sack feature?
One of the jacket's pockets is designed to act as a stuff sack. Turn this pocket inside out, fold or roll the jacket into it, and zip it closed. This makes the jacket highly portable.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
While the polyamide material offers some water resistance, down insulation loses its effectiveness when wet. It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. For wet conditions, consider wearing it under a waterproof jacket.
What kind of detergent should I use for washing?
It is best to use a down-specific detergent. Avoid using regular detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the down and reduce its insulating properties.
How long does it take to dry the jacket after washing?
Drying can take several hours, even in a tumble dryer on a low setting. It's crucial to ensure the down is completely dry and has regained its full loft to prevent clumping and maintain insulation.
What is the difference between this and a synthetic-filled jacket?
Down-filled jackets like this one typically offer a better warmth-to-weight ratio than synthetic jackets. However, down loses insulating power when wet, whereas synthetic insulation generally retains more warmth when damp.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels flat or has lost its loft
Place the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. This process helps to re-distribute and re-fluff the down filling.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to close
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Jacket smells after washing
Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed. If the smell persists, it may indicate residual detergent or that the down has not fully dried. Re-wash with an appropriate down wash and ensure it is completely dry in the tumble dryer.
Down is clumping after washing
This is often due to insufficient drying. Re-tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls until all clumps have dispersed and the down is fully lofted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack and allow it to loft.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear for adult males. It can be layered over base and mid-layers. While it is water-resistant due to its polyamide shell, it is not a waterproof garment and should be protected from heavy rain.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a small amount of down-specific detergent. It is recommended to wash with 2-3 clean tennis balls to help break up clumps of down.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with the tennis balls. Continue drying until the down is fully dry and has regained its loft. This may take several hours. Ensure no clumps remain.
- Storage: Store loosely in a breathable bag or hang it up rather than keeping it compressed in its stuff sack long-term to preserve the down's loft.
