How warm is the Orolay Cloak Puffer?

It is a genuine down coat with 90% white duck down in the body and sleeves, so it handles typical winter cold. The loose cut lets cold air in at the hem and cuffs, so it is warmer over layers than on its own.

What size is it, and will it fit me?

It comes in one size only. The cloak cut is generous through the body, so it suits medium-to-large frames and layers well; petite shoppers often find it oversized and tall shoppers may find the 25-inch sleeves short.

The polyester shell is described as windproof and waterproof, which handles rain and snow showers. Seams are not taped, so it is not a substitute for a hardshell in heavy, sustained rain.

How should I wash it?

Guidance is inconsistent: some listings say hand wash only, others allow a gentle machine cycle. Either way, wash separately in cold water, skip bleach, and tumble on low with dryer balls to keep the down lofted.

How does it compare with Orolay's better-known puffer?

This is the cloak-cut version: looser, longer, and with a fixed faux-fur-lined hood rather than the fitted, multi-pocket style of the classic Orolay down jacket. Choose it for the drape and coverage; choose the classic for a more structured fit.
