Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than before.
The down fill may have compressed. Ensure you are washing and drying the jacket correctly, especially using dryer balls on a low heat setting to restore loft. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper with a small brush and apply a zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric appears to be attracting excessive lint or dust.
This can sometimes happen with synthetic fabrics. Try using a lint roller regularly. When washing, ensure you wash similar colors and fabrics together, and check your washing machine for lint buildup.
Stains on the jacket surface.
For light stains, spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, pre-treat with a fabric-safe stain remover before machine washing according to the care instructions.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Kanaga Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Washable: The jacket is machine washable. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, including water temperature and cycle settings.
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with dryer balls (clean tennis balls work well) to help redistribute the down fill and restore its loft. It may take several cycles to fully dry and fluff up the down. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Avoid Ironing: Do not iron the jacket, as high heat can damage the polyester fabric and down insulation.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, which can flatten the down.
