Down Jacket Women

Hand wash
Soak for up to 60 minutes (in sink or in machine on soak cycle). Use laundry soap. Do not use fabric softener. Lightly squeeze out excess water - do not wring. For best results allow garmet to drip dry before tumble drying. Shake gently as wet down is heavy enough to damage fabric. Tumble dry thoroughly on very low heat. Excessive heat can damage down oils and fabric clumping will occur if garment is not dried thoroughly. After removing from dryer, shake to re-loft down and air for several hours before use or storage. If you do not have a tumble dryer, we recommend professional laundering.

 

Machine wash
Warm gentle machine wash separately. Recommended machine setting is gentle. Use laundry soap. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and spin on low speed. Shake gently as wet down is heavy enough to damage fabric. Tumble dry thoroughly on very low heat. Excessive heat can damage down oils and fabric clumping will occur if garment is not dried thoroughly. After removing from dryer, shake to re-loft down and air for several hours before use or storage. If you do not have a tumble dryer, we recommend professional laundering.

 

Storage
Do not store wet. Do not store in stuff sac.

 

For best results we recommend that you wash your Kathmandu down jacket with Nikwax Loft Downwash, and ensure your jacket is thoroughly tumble dried on a cool setting prior to use or storage.

The purpose of down insulation is to trap the heat emitted from your body and prevent it from diffusing into the cold air around you.

Duck down and goose down fill is the most efficient and comfortable insulation, providing an extremely high warmth to-weight ratio. Kathmandu uses only high quality down fill, the performance of which is measured by loft power.

Loft power or loft, is calculated by measuring the volume an ounce of down occupies in a climate controlled test cylinder. The more volume occupied by an ounce of down [cu/in oz], the more air is trapped and the greater the insulation and warmth provided.

The higher the loft power, the better it will protect the user from the elements; for example, one ounce of 700 loft power down will occupy 700 cubic inches.

As down is a natural product, minor variations in loft power may occur between items.

Kathmandu has a quality assurance program in place to guarantee that the highest standards and minimum variances occur during manufacturing.

Goose down fill provides the ultimate in insulation, warmth and comfort, without adding a lot of weight.  Easily compressible for quick storage, goosedown550 loft power is great for travel and adventure in cool climates.
