Taking care of your Puffer Jacket

Puffer jackets are designed for warmth, but they lose their insulation and durability if not cared for properly.  Damp conditions, pollution, and daily wear can take a toll, so maintenance is essential for their longevity.

The warmth of puffer jackets doesn’t just come from the fabric itself but from the air trapped inside the insulation. Whether your jacket is filled with natural down or synthetic fibres, it works by creating tiny air pockets that retain body heat and keep you warm, even in freezing conditions.

The insulation can become damaged overtime due to dirt, sweat, and body oils.  These seep into the fabric, breaking down the delicate structure of the fill, causing your light, fluffy puffer jacket to turn lumpy, flat, and ineffective at keeping you warm.

Without proper cleaning down feathers stick together, reducing their ability to trap air. Synthetic insulation compresses and stiffens, making the jacket feel heavier but less warm. This can permanently ruin the warmth and comfort of your jacket.

Your puffer jacket is an investment and is built to last but only if you take care of it properly.

Many people unknowingly damage their jackets with common cleaning mistakes.

Cleaning your jacket at home can cause many problems including using the wrong detergent which may strip away the natural oils in the insulation.

A proper drying procedure is essential which is not possible to do at home.  A damp jacket creates the perfect environment for mould and mildew, leading to musty smells that are difficult to remove.  The insulation will become flattened and won’t keep you warm also over time there will be permanent damage to the fabric.
