M's Roan Plateau 800 Fill Down Hooded Parka

Pertex Quantum®

Using the finest yarns available with the maximum thread count, Pertex Quantum® has an extremely light, yet dense weave construction. Pertex Quantum® stands its ground with excellent tear and seam strength.

Premium Goose Down Fill

We use premium 800+ and 650+ fill power goose down in different products depending on the design and end-use. Down is still the most thermally efficient insulation available, providing more warmth for its weight than any other insulation available. Down is also superior in its drape, comfort, lifespan, and compressibility. All of our down is renewably managed using a hypoallergenic processing technique.

800 Fill Power
800+ fill power down is more compressible and provides a greater loft to weight ratio than 650+ fill power, and is used in our highest performance down products. We specify a 90/10 cluster to feather ratio for optimum loft and recovery.

650 Fill Power
Our 650+ fill power down is 15% loftier than the industry standard 550+ fill power down and exhibits excellent compressibility and recovery characteristics. We process it to an 85/15 cluster to feather ratio to emphasize maximum recovery from compression.

Review your garment's care label for any special care instructions.

Washing

It’s best to hand-wash your down and synthetic garments. Fill a bathtub with warm water, soak the garment, add Nikwax Down or Tech Wash (preferred) or a gentle soap such as Woolite, Ivory Flakes, or Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, kneed the soapy water through the baffles, and then rinse until the water is fairly clean. To dry, follow the instructions below. DO NOT DRY CLEAN! DO NOT USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENER! Small stains such as sap, tar, or oils can be spot cleaned using soap or diluted spot-cleaning solvent (such as Shout or Spray-N-Wash). Move down away from the spot being cleaned.

It is possible to machine-wash down and synthetic garments. First, though, consider the following factors:

The impeller in a top-loader washing machine treats insulated garments harshly and therefore reduces their lifespan.
The perimeter seams (on a synthetic garment) and the baffle seams (on a down garment) can tear, especially when the insulation is wet (and therefore heavier).
Normal household detergents will strip the natural oils from down, and residues from these cleaners will degrade the DWR-finish of the garment shell.
Therefore, if you are going to machine-wash your insulated garment, we recommend that you:
Use the gentle cycle on a front-loader washing machine.
Use a mild detergent such as Woolite or a down-specific soap like NikWax Down Wash.
Rinse the garment more than once. This will remove detergent residue, which will improve overall performance.

Drying

Particularly in the case of down garments, drying is as important as washing. Down clothing can appear to be dry from the outside while, in fact, its core is still damp, which can lead to mildew.

Using a tumble-dryer is recommended.

Place tennis balls in the drum with the garment to "fluff" it up as it rotates.

Commercial dryers have larger drums than home machines and are therefore preferable if several garments are being dried at the same time.

During the drying process, periodically check for lumps; redistribute down by pulling clumps apart, gentle massaging, and adding drying time.

If you air-dry your down garment, remember to shake it regularly during the drying process to prevent clumps from forming.

Restoring DWR Finish

The DWR finish can be degraded by normal wear and tear, as well as exposure to contaminants such as oil, dirt and detergent residue. (Detergents strip the DWR finish by leaving water-attractive molecules in the face fabric.) When a DWR finish is degraded, the garment will not shed water as effectively, causing the loft of the insulation and its ability to keep you warm to decline when it gets wet.

Using after-market spray-on treatments such as Gore-Revivex or Nikwax TX.Direct can restore water-repellency.

The effectiveness of the treatment can be enhanced by placing your garment in a dryer with low heat after application.

Excellent Jacket

I have had this jacket for over a month now and I can not complain. It si awesome! The jacket has kept up in -52f weather overe the last 3 weeks. The one problem that I had was that it took over 3 months to get it delivered to the base. Golite said they delivered the day that the order was recieved but it didn't ship out till 3 months later. Besides the shipping issue, I love this jacket and would reccomend it to anyone knowing that if it can handle -52f any weather in the states should be a piece of cake for this jacket.

Decent for tall/thin - extremely warm

When I purchased this jacket I read the review saying it was a good fit for tall and thin. I am 6'4" 170 lbs and the large is a pretty good fit. As usual when I buy clothes - slightly roomy in the waist and about 1/2"-1" shorter than I'd like in the arms. But better fitting than most size large jackets I've tried. I only take a point away for these reasons, though I'm not sure thats fair. Everything else I love. WARM. COMFORTABLE. LIGHTWEIGHT. QUALITY. That sums up the four stars I DID give.
