When it may not be suitable
This jacket is not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions, as down insulation loses its thermal properties when saturated. It is also not intended for high-intensity activities where extreme breathability is required, as the down fill may cause overheating during strenuous physical exertion.

How to use
Wear the jacket as a standalone outer layer on dry, cold days or as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof shell during inclement weather.

What to consider before purchase
- Check the size guide to ensure a proper fit for layering
- Consider the weather conditions in your area, as this is not a waterproof garment
- Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for down products to maintain loft
Usage recommendations: To maintain the loft and thermal efficiency of the down, wash the jacket using a specialized down detergent and tumble dry with clean tennis balls to redistribute the feathers evenly.
