Customer Reviews
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How warm is the Men's Wind Challenger Stretch Down Jacket?
A: It is rated Warmest on our scale of Warm/Warmer/Warmest. It is insulated with 650-fill DownTek water-repellent down, and the DownShield construction is designed to improve thermal efficiency by reducing stitch-through points.
Q: Is this jacket windproof and water resistant?
A: Yes, this jacket is windproof and water resistant. It is a great choice for cold, windy conditions and light moisture, but it is not meant to replace a fully waterproof rain jacket in steady rain.
Q: How does the fit run, and what should I wear under it?
A: It has a slightly fitted shape and is designed to be most comfortable over a midweight layer. The length falls at thigh for a bit more coverage when you are moving around outside.
Q: Will the hood fit over a helmet?
A: Yes, the hood is helmet-compatible and adjustable. It is made to help you dial in the fit when you are layered up for winter weather.
Q: What pockets does this jacket have?
A: It has two zip hand pockets, one zip chest pocket, one interior mesh pocket, and a zip pass pocket on the sleeve. The mix makes it easy to keep small essentials secure and within reach.
Q: How do I wash and dry this down jacket?
A: It is machine wash and dry. For best results, make sure it is fully dry after washing so the down can loft back up.
