Kathmandu FAQs
How do I wash a Kathmandu puffer or down jacket?
For best results, machine wash your jacket on a gentle, cold cycle using a specialised down-specific detergent. It is important to avoid using fabric softeners and to skip the spin cycle, as this can damage the delicate down clusters. To restore the jacket's loft and ensure the down is evenly distributed, tumble dry it on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls.
How waterproof and warm are Kathmandu jackets?
The warmth of a Kathmandu jacket is determined by its insulation, such as high-quality Responsible Down Standard (RDS) down or innovative synthetic fills like novaLOFT™. Many puffer jackets feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that handles light showers, while dedicated rain jackets use ngx™ fabric technology for higher waterproof ratings in sustained rain. Check the product details for its specific fill power and waterproof rating to ensure it suits your needs for Australian conditions.
Which Kathmandu jacket is right for my needs?
Choosing the right jacket depends on your activity; for everyday warmth, the popular Epiq down jacket is a great choice, while the lighter Heli range is ideal for travel and hiking. For wet weather adventures, consider a waterproof and breathable Trailhead or Andulo rain jacket, and for versatile layering, a fleece pullover provides lightweight warmth. We recommend referring to the product descriptions and the on-page size guide to find the perfect features and fit for your next adventure.
