Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your vest maintains its water-repellent properties and insulation loft, proper care is essential. Always machine wash in cold water with like colors to prevent fabric damage or color bleeding. Use only non-chlorine bleach if necessary and tumble dry on low settings. Do not iron or dry clean the garment, as these methods can degrade the synthetic fibers and the performance coating. When storing, hang the vest to maintain its shape, and avoid compressing it under heavy items for extended periods to ensure the insulation retains its thermal effectiveness.
