How to repair your down jacket
Even the toughest down jackets can take a hit - whether it’s a rogue branch on the trail or a sharp edge on farm. That’s why we’ve included a built in ‘repair kit’ in your jacket’s inner pocket, so you can fix snags or tears and keep your insulation protected.
Here’s how to repair your jacket quickly and effectively - no sewing required.
WHAT’S IN THE KIT
✔️ Durable, repair patch
✔️ Designed to bond securely with heat
✔️ Blends in with your jacket’s outer shell
✔️ Built to last through wash and wear
BEFORE YOU START
▶ Find a flat, clean surface to work on
▶ Inspect the tear - if down is poking out, gently tuck it back inside
▶ Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth and let it dry completely
STEP 1: Cover the Tear
-
- Make sure the patch fully covers the damaged area with room to spare
STEP 2: Place & Protect
-
- Peel off the opaque paper film
- Lay the patch shiny adhesive-side down over the tear
- Cover with a thin cloth or tea towel to protect your jacket from direct heat
STEP 3: Apply Heat
-
- Use a hot, dry iron (no steam) temperature around 120 degrees
- Press firmly over the cloth for 10-15 seconds
- Let the area cool completely before testing the bond
STEP 4: Go Again (Optional)
-
- If the patch lifts at the edges, repeat with more heat and pressure
- Avoid washing for 24 hours to allow full adhesion
Pro Tip: A good repair adds character - and extends the life of your gear. Taking care of your down jacket helps reduce waste and keeps you warmer for longer.
