Troubleshooting

Outer shell appears dirty or stained

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant coating.

Jacket feels less warm after washing

Ensure the garment is thoroughly dried and the insulation is properly fluffed in the dryer, as trapped moisture or compressed insulation will reduce warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in peak condition, always follow the care label instructions sewn into the garment. Generally, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or a dryer ball to restore the loft of the insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh bleaches, as these can degrade the performance properties of the outer shell. Ensure all zippers and closures are fastened before placing the garment in the wash to prevent snags.
