Returns & Exchanges

Yes! We offer exchanges and returns within 30 days of delivery for all products in stock.

You can either exchange your jacket for a different size/color or return it and receive a refund/store credit! The store credit can be used toward anything on our website and won’t expire, so you can use it whenever and however you’d like!

Please keep in mind that items must be unworn (save try-on), unwashed, and have the original tag and packaging in place in order to exchange or return them.

IMPORTANT
Pre-order items and discounted-orders:
Items purchased while on pre-order status or with 30%+ discount are nonrefundable. Don’t worry, though! You can still exchange them for a different size or return for store credit!

The items must be sent back to us within 30 days of delivery and must be unworn, unwashed, and have the original tag and packaging in place.

We do our best to process all returns and exchanges in a timely manner. After the package arrives back at our warehouse, the process can take up to 14 business days (for exchanges, it can take as little as 7 days).

Pre-Orders

Pre-orders are a modern way to launch new products with a controlled & sustainable use of materials.

All Apricoat items are launched on crowdfunding or pre-order campaigns (discounted prices) as our community is committed to helping the planet recover from the human-effect of the past decades. Pre-ordering is not only saving, but caring too! ❤️

Items in pre-order status cannot be cancelled at the moment. The reason for that is the funds received go right toward the production of set pre-order items and therefore we cannot refund them. If you wish, you will be able to exchange it later for a different size or color.

Products

We recommend sizing up if you're in between sizes.

If you're thinking about adding many layers or particularly thick ones, we recommend sizing up.

While many companies in the U.S place their zippers on different sides (depending if the jacket has a men’s or a women’s fit), there are many countries in which there is no difference in the zipper placement between garments.


At APRICOAT, we made the decision to place the zipper on the left side on both men’s and women’s jackets in order to adjust our collection to have an international fit (just like we considered different sizing systems while creating our own).

We apologize if the feature causes you any inconvenience or discomfort!

Adventure 2.0

The Adventure 2.0 offers the same great features as the V1, but with significant improvements in the quality of materials, breathability, water resistance, and overall fit.

We put a lot of effort into testing different materials to see which ones hold up best under all weather conditions.

For the Adventure 2.0, we've switched to a higher grade light-weight material that allows for an extremely weightless and flexible wearing experience, all while providing significantly better insulation and water resistance.

Another area we focused on was the fit - we've updated the measurements of the Adventure 2.0 to better fit different body types, and better match up with the industry standard. While both options are great, we'd definitely recommend the Adventure 2.0!

We apologize for the confusion! In our production and logistics system the V1 is actually called "version 0" and the Adventure 2.0 is called "version 1", which is why it says V1 on the Apricoat 2.0 label.

To be sure it's the Adventure 2.0, you can also check to see if there's a logo on the front of the hood and a channel for earphones (both existed in the V1 and were removed in the Adventure 2.0).

If after taking a further look at your jacket, it still looks like the wrong one - please email support@apricoat.com so that our customer support team can look into the matter for you!

Yes, the Adventure 2.0 is fully seam-sealed and water-proof (10,000 - 15,000 mm level)

The recommended temperatures are 77f to 41f (25c to 5c). Keep in mind though that every person's tolerance to the cold is different, so the exact temperatures vary from person to person. It also, of course, depends what you wear under the coat. With our thermal wear, it can be comfortable at even -20c.

Yes! You can take it off or keep it on, whatever's most comfortable for you!

The jacket's exterior is made of a super breathable polyester-based fabric. A special membrane covers the fabric and gives it its breathability capability.

All the material used to make one unit of this jacket is the equivalent of approximately 300 recycled plastic bottles.

Outer Shell:
91% Polyester + 9 % Spandex. Lining 1-2: 100% Knit Brushed Polyester. Lining 3: 100% Polyester Taffeta. Lining 4: 91% Single Jersey Polyester + 9 % Spandex

Yes, please follow the instructions on the jacket label for further guidelines and clarification on how to best wash your jacket.

Also, we recommend you wash your jacket with other items of similar colors, to maintain the color in your jacket.

We use a sustainable model of collective production which helps the planet. Products are made to order (MTO), meaning all materials are purchased only for a small run based on the demand we see. Once they go out of stock, we open pre-orders and produce new batches. Less waste on shelves and less carbon footprint left on the planet! 🌍

Due to complicated logistics in the past years, pre-orders will be available during certain times of the year only. You can find out more information about it here.

EcoDown Jacket

No. The EcoDown Jacket is water repellent. The outer shell of the jacket underwent a special process that enables it to repel water and liquids. Also, the outer zippers are waterproof!

The recommended temperature range is 59f to 5f (15c to -15c), although exact temperatures will vary from person to person as everyone's tolerance to the cold is different. It also, of course depends what you wear underneath the coat. With our thermal wear, it can be comfortable at even -20c.

No, the Down Jacket is made of synthetic down! ♻️


Synthetic down is made out of recycled plastic bottles, which is why we chose this environmentally friendly method over natural down. An added bonus is that synthetic down actually dries quicker than natural down!

The EcoDown Jacket exterior is made of a super breathable polyester-based ripstop fabric.

Even though it uses a very rugged material, the Down jacket is very lightweight and packs small. It weighs between 0.70kg and 1.06kg, depending on the size and fit:

L - 0.88 kg
XL - 0.89 kg

WOMEN
XS - 0.70 kg
S -  0.74 kg

You can wash your Eco Down Jacket at 30 degrees, although you shouldn't dry clean it or put it in the dryer.
