Troubleshooting
The jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure you're layering appropriately for the conditions. Check for any areas of down clumping, and redistribute the insulation if necessary. If the jacket is wet, it will lose its insulating properties. Dry the jacket thoroughly.
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Check the DWR coating on the outer fabric. If water is no longer beading off the surface, reapply a DWR treatment. Also, ensure the zippers are fully closed.
The jacket's zippers are sticking.
Lubricate the zippers with a zipper wax or a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt and debris.

Care
- Washing:

- Wash the jacket with the zippers closed.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

- Tumble dry on low heat with clean dryer balls to help restore loft. Be patient, as down can take a long time to dry.
- Alternatively, air dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area, periodically fluffing the down.
- Storage:
- Store the jacket loosely in a breathable storage sack or a dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods.
- Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew.
- Maintenance:
- Address any tears or damage immediately. Repairing the jacket will help prolong its use.
- Check and maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating by washing the jacket regularly and reapplying DWR as needed. This will help maintain water resistance.
