Insulation & construction details
Insulation & Shell Construction
The st johns bay puffer jacket features synthetic polyester fill that mimics down’s insulating properties while maintaining performance in damp conditions. Unlike natural down, synthetic insulation retains warmth even when exposed to moisture, making this jacket a practical choice for unpredictable weather.
The outer shell is constructed from ripstop polyester with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. This coating causes water to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking through. The fabric is also wind-resistant, adding an extra layer of protection on blustery days.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The St. Johns Bay puffer jacket is cut with a classic fit that provides room for layering without looking oversized. This silhouette works well over sweaters, hoodies, or flannel shirts while maintaining a clean profile.
For accurate sizing, measure your chest at the fullest part and compare to our size chart. If you plan to layer heavier garments underneath, consider sizing up one increment. Regular lengths fall to mid-hip, while tall sizes add approximately two inches to body and sleeve length.
Care & Maintenance Instructions
Machine wash your st johns bay puffer jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can break down the DWR coating over time. Close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging.
Tumble dry on low heat with two clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These help break up clumps of insulation and restore loft as the jacket dries. Remove the jacket while slightly damp and hang to finish air-drying.
