- Is the Orolay Puff-O warm enough for winter?
- Yes for mild-to-cold winters and layering. The 90% down fill is warm for its weight, but the hip length leaves thighs exposed in deep cold.
- Is it really waterproof?
- The shell is waterproof and handles rain and wet snow. Seams and zippers are the usual weak points, so heavy downpours can still get through.
- How does it compare with Orolay's long parkas?
- It is shorter, lighter and easier to move in, but covers less of the body. The long parkas add length and more pockets at the cost of bulk.
- What is RDS-certified down?
- Responsible Down Standard certifies that the down comes from ducks and geese not subjected to live-plucking or force-feeding. It is a sourcing guarantee, not a warmth rating.
- How should I wash a down puffer?
- Use a down-specific detergent on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low with dryer balls until fully dry. Never air-dry, or the down clumps.
- Does it run true to size?
- The straight cut is roomy, so most buyers take their usual size. Size down if you want a closer fit and do not plan to layer.
- Where is the Orolay Puff-O Hip-Length Down Puffer Jacket cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $250.00, as of our latest check.
