Save The Duck

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does PLUMTECH® synthetic insulation compare to natural down for warmth and packability?

  PLUMTECH® is a high-density polyester down alternative that traps air for thermal loft while remaining animal-free and quick-drying. Unlike natural down, PLUMTECH® keeps insulating performance when damp and is designed to compress into small pouches for travel. It offers down-like warmth with easier care and more predictable wet-weather performance.
• What are the practical differences between LAXY, X-aylon®, RUBY, and MITO fabrics and when should I choose each?

  LAXY is a bi-elastic, abrasion-resistant fabric (≈3000 WP, 3000–5000 MVP) that follows body contours for active urban use and layering. X-aylon® has a knit-like elasticity with higher weather protection (≈5000 WP/MVP) for more demanding wet conditions, while RUBY uses a PU membrane with taped seams (≈5000 WP) for full wet‑weather protection. MITO is a matte, water‑repellent polyester with very high breathability suited to everyday travel and workouts where a natural finish and comfort matter.
• How should I size and layer Save The Duck jackets for travel and changing weather?

  Save The Duck designs tend toward lightweight, low‑bulk silhouettes that layer well; choose your usual size for a close fit or size up if you want roomy mid‑layer space. For travel pick a packable style with PLUMTECH® insulation for versatile warmth, and combine a base layer plus a midlayer when temperatures drop rather than relying on one heavy coat. Always consult the specific product’s size chart to match your preferred fit and layering needs.
• How can I verify my Save The Duck item is authentic and what care keeps it performing?

  Save The Duck uses Certilogo authentication—scan the QR code on the garment to confirm authenticity, access supply‑chain details, and view the manufacturer care instructions. Most pieces are machine washable on a gentle cycle and designed to dry quickly; follow the garment label for specific wash/dry guidance and avoid harsh bleach or aggressive treatments to preserve membranes and PLUMTECH®.
