- Is this jacket warm enough for below-freezing weather?
- Yes. The 100% down and feather fill is a strong insulator, and most owners wear it comfortably in freezing temperatures with a normal base layer.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The shell is water-repellent, so it handles light snow and drizzle, but sustained rain will soak the nylon and flatten the down. Wear a hardshell over it in wet weather.
- How does it compare with a synthetic puffer?
- It is warmer for the weight and more compressible than most synthetic fill, but it loses insulation when wet and dries more slowly. Synthetic is the safer pick for wet climates.
- How should I wash it?
- Use a down-specific detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low with dryer balls until the fill is fully lofted. Never store it compressed while damp.
- Does it fit over a sweater?
- Yes, the cut is roomy enough for a mid-layer. If you want a trim look, consider sizing down.
