Troubleshooting

The jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and that the cuffs and hem are adjusted to seal in warmth. Check that the down filling is evenly distributed by gently fluffing the jacket.

The jacket is losing down feathers.

This is normal, especially with new down jackets. Avoid pulling the feathers out; instead, gently push them back inside. Inspect the seams and repair any small tears immediately to prevent further loss.

The zipper is stuck.

Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper wax or a bar of soap. Gently work the zipper up and down to free it. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause further damage.

Water is penetrating the jacket.

The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. If exposed to heavy rain, water may penetrate. Apply a water-repellent treatment to the outer fabric to improve its water resistance.
