FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Flobots 02 Jacket provides good warmth due to its down fill, but it is considered lightweight. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a heavier, insulated, or waterproof outer shell.
What does 'downproof' mean?
Downproof fabric has a very tight weave that prevents the fine down and feather filling from escaping through the material, ensuring the jacket retains its insulation and appearance.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Wash only when necessary to preserve the water-repellent treatment and down fill. Spot clean minor stains if possible. Follow the care label instructions for thorough washing.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear. Regular detergents can sometimes strip the natural oils from down and affect its loft and performance.
What is the fill power of the down?
The jacket has a fill power of 650, which indicates a good balance of warmth and weight for everyday use.
How do I adjust the hem?
Locate the drawstring inside the hem of the jacket. Pull both ends of the drawstring to tighten the hem and secure it using the toggle or stopper.
Troubleshooting
Jacket has lost its water-repellent properties.
Reapply a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for down garments after washing. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Down filling appears clumpy after washing.
Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the loft of the down.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.
Elasticated cuffs feel stretched.
This is usually due to normal wear and tear. For minor stretching, the adjustable hem can help create a snugger fit around the waist.
