FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for warmth and wind resistance, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
How should I store the puffer in summer?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place, ensuring it is not compressed by other clothing.
Can I machine wash this garment?
Yes, but use a front-loading machine on a delicate cycle with mild detergent designed for technical outerwear.
What if the insulation starts to shift?
Regular, gentle shaking and proper drying methods usually redistribute the fill evenly.
Is the fit true to size?
The fit is standard, but the 'OS' design offers a slightly roomier silhouette for comfort and layering.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with tennis balls to fluff the internal insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your TNF OS Puffer, proper maintenance is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment before cleaning, as high-quality insulation often requires specific laundering methods to prevent the fill from clumping. Generally, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with a specialized detergent designed for insulated apparel. To restore loft after washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the insulation. When storing the jacket, avoid compressing it under heavy items for extended periods to maintain its thermal properties. Ensure you choose the correct size from the available range to optimize the balance between warmth and mobility.
