FAQ's

  • A recent batch was made with uneven down fill, meaning the insulation isn’t spread evenly in some sections. The total fill weight is correct, but a few areas may feel less warm due to this uneven distribution.

  • Yes. The down fill can be manually redistributed by gently massaging and shaking the jacket to move the insulation between baffles. In our testing, this process took about 20-40 minutes and made the issue much less noticeable during wear.

Help Us Keep Good Gear Out of Landfill

By purchasing a Factory Second Tough Down Jacket, you’re helping keep usable gear from landfill and reduce unnecessary waste.

How to Repair Your Tough Down Jacket

This Factory Second Tough Down Jacket can be repaired by hand. Start by lying the item out and identify the baffles that are over-filled and under-filled. Then, gently begin to manipulate or massage the over-filled baffles, working slowly and gently. Gradually push the down towards the places that need additional fill until all baffles have fairly even coverage. With about 20-40 minutes of effort, you can significantly improve the down coverage. Individual results may vary.
