Thanks, @7Üp & @skinny . Sounds pretty much as expected, though the repeated compression thing seems to fly in the face of the frequent getting out to puff thing. I'm not expecting a lifetime of use, but best practice and all that.

It's in the dryer on cool air cycle with some softballs to loft it out as much as possible.

Unless abused, down in a decently made jacket/sleeping bag/quilt is a lifetime investment. I have a vest that's over 20 years old that loses a few feathers every time I use it, still looks and performs as it should. I wash my down stuff every 1 or 2 years, no problems so far.

Agreed, if high quality, but I feel that this particular jacket won't last that long. It may be a stepping stone toward a lifetime investment, though.
