FAQs

What is 800FP?

FP stands for 'Fill Power', a measure of the down's loft and insulating capability. 800 Fill Power indicates high-quality down that provides excellent warmth for its weight.

How do I determine my size given the unisex fit?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. As a general guide, men may find their usual size fits well, while women may prefer to size down for a more tailored fit.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

While the jacket is hand washable, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the down and fabric. Always follow the hand-wash instructions for best results.

What is ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is a weaving technique designed to resist tearing and ripping. It features a reinforced pattern that stops small tears from spreading, making it highly durable.

How often should I wash my down jacket?

Down jackets do not require frequent washing. Spot clean minor stains as needed and wash only when the jacket is visibly dirty or has lost its loft. Over-washing can degrade the down's performance.

What are the benefits of the V-neck design?

The V-neck design allows for easy layering over shirts or sweaters without bunching at the neckline. It also provides a cleaner silhouette when worn under another jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth.

Ensure the zippers are fully closed and that you are layering appropriately with other garments underneath.

Down feathers are poking through the fabric.

This is rare but can happen. Gently pull the feather back through from the opposite side if possible. Avoid excessive pulling. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Jacket has lost some loft after washing.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. You can help restore loft by placing it in a cool tumble dryer with a few clean tennis balls on a no-heat setting for short periods. Check periodically and remove once loft is restored.
