Troubleshooting

This jacket runs small. Consider purchasing one size larger than your usual size. Ensure all adjustable drawstrings and zippers are loosened.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the down filling is evenly distributed. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help re-fluff the down. Avoid over-washing.
