Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Skyline Hydrophobic Down Jacket is designed for adult females seeking warmth and protection during winter. Its key benefit is providing durable, water-resistant insulation with Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified down. A potential caveat is that its primary material is polyester, which may not offer the same breathability as other technical fabrics. This lightweight jacket features down/feather filling and adjustable elements to keep you dry and protected.

FAQs

What does 'Hydrophobic Down' mean?

Hydrophobic down is treated to resist water absorption. This means it clumps less and retains more of its insulating power compared to untreated down when exposed to moisture.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, it is recommended to wear a separate waterproof outer layer over the jacket.

How do I ensure the down stays fluffy?

To maintain the down's loft, it's crucial to follow the care instructions for washing and drying. Tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls is key to re-fluffing the down after washing.

What is RDS certification?

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. This certification ensures that the down and feathers used in the jacket come from animals that have been treated ethically and are free from unnecessary harm.

What is 700 Fill Power?

Fill Power is a measure of the down's loft or fluffiness. A 700 rating indicates high-quality down that provides excellent insulation for its weight, trapping more air to keep you warmer.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

Yes, the 700 fill power down makes this jacket very warm and suitable for cold winter conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional clothing is recommended.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket's outer material is made from Polyester. The filling is a combination of down and feather, certified RDS with a 700 fill power rating.

Troubleshooting

Jacket has lost its loft or warmth.

This can happen if the down becomes compressed or damp. Follow the washing and drying instructions carefully, using a low heat tumble dry with tennis balls to restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider wearing a waterproof outer shell. The water-resistant treatment on the fabric may also diminish over time; consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.

Jacket has a slight odor after washing.

Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed and completely dry. Odors can sometimes persist if detergent residue remains or if the down is not fully dried. Repeat the drying process if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio due to 700 fill power down.
  • Water-resistant properties help maintain insulation in damp conditions.
  • Ethically sourced down with RDS certification.
  • Adjustable features allow for a personalized, draft-free fit.
  • Lightweight construction for comfortable wear.

Cons

  • Polyester outer material may be less breathable than some technical fabrics.
  • Primarily designed for cold, potentially damp conditions; may be too warm for milder weather.
  • Down filling requires specific care to maintain loft and performance.
  • Water resistance may not be sufficient for heavy rainfall; it is not a waterproof jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required. Ensure the size is correct before wearing.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear for adult females. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth. Its unisex design makes it versatile, though it is specifically sized for women.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colours. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls (or dryer balls). This helps to re-distribute and re-loft the down filling. Remove from the dryer periodically and break up any clumps of down manually.
  • Cleaning: Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can damage the down and water-resistant treatment.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to maintain the loft of the down.
