FAQs
Is the Didriksons Essa Jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the jacket is constructed with a waterproof shell designed to keep you dry in wet and stormy weather.
What type of insulation does the jacket use?
The jacket utilizes recycled synthetic insulation, which provides warmth and is designed to be environmentally friendly.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket, but always refer to the specific care label on the inside of the garment for the recommended temperature and cycle settings.
Is the PFC-free finish effective?
Yes, the PFC-free finish is a modern, environmentally conscious coating that provides effective water repellency.
How do I adjust the waist for a better fit?
The jacket features an adjustable waist system, usually found internally or via external toggles, that allows you to cinch the garment to your preferred fit.
Is the hood removable?
The Essa jacket hood is designed for fixed, high-performance protection with two-way adjustability, but it is not listed as detachable.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the outer shell
The water-repellent coating may have worn off; apply a manufacturer-approved DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket feels less warm than usual
Check that all adjustable cuffs and the waist cord are tightened to prevent heat loss; additionally, ensure the insulation is clean and not matted.
Hood keeps blowing off in wind
Adjust the two-way tension cord on the hood to secure it closer to your head and use the integrated peak for better wind resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Didriksons Essa Jacket in optimal condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Upon receiving the jacket, utilize the waist toggles and cuff adjusters to ensure the garment fits securely to your frame, which maximizes the insulation efficiency.
- Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and follow the care label instructions. It is recommended to avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Re-treating the Shell: Over time, the outer shell's water-repellent efficacy may diminish. If water stops beading on the surface, consider using a recommended technical fabric wash-in or spray-on re-proofer.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent moisture buildup, especially after use in heavy storms.
