FAQs
What type of warmth does the synthetic down filling provide?
The synthetic down filling provides excellent core warmth, similar to natural down, but with the advantage of retaining its insulating properties better when damp.
Is this body warmer waterproof?
The body warmer features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and showers. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged wet conditions.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the provided size guide which lists chest measurements for each size (S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 42 in, XL: 44 in, XXL: 48 in, 3XL: 51 in). Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the guide for the best fit.
Can this be worn in very cold weather?
It is designed for core warmth and can be part of a layering system in cold weather. For maximum warmth, layer it over insulating garments like fleeces or thermal tops.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. After several washes, or when water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore the DWR finish using a dedicated spray-on or wash-in re-proofer.
What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?
'Grown On Hood' means the hood is attached to the main body of the garment as a single construction piece, rather than being a separate item that is sewn on.
Are there specific washing instructions?
Yes, machine wash at 30°C with similar colours using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Filling has clumped after washing
Ensure the garment is completely dry. Place it in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up the clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic filling.
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR finish may need replenishing. Clean the garment according to the care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.
Garment feels tight or restrictive
Check the size guide against your measurements. Ensure the hem shockcord is not overly tightened. If the size is correct, the fit is designed for layering; consider wearing it over thinner base layers.

- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impact the water-repellent finish and filling performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. You may need to periodically remove the item and manually break up the filling to restore loft.
