FAQs
Is the Napapijri Lapaz Vest made with real feathers?
No, it features down-free THERMO-FIBRE insulation made from 100% recycled polyester.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The vest is water-resistant, not waterproof; it is designed for light showers and should be covered by a waterproof shell in heavy rain.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The vest follows standard sizing; if you plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath, consider if you prefer a tighter athletic fit or more room.
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, wash on a cold, delicate cycle and hang to dry.
What is PFC-free?
It means the water-repellent finish is free from Perfluorocarbons, which are chemicals often used in outdoor gear that are harmful to the environment.
Is there an internal pocket?
Yes, the vest includes a secure inner pocket for storing valuables like keys or a phone.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to decrease over time
Wash the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Zipper gets stuck or does not glide smoothly
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and clean any debris; applying a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Vest loses its loftiness after storage
Gently shake the vest to redistribute the microspheres and let it air out for several hours to restore volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, ensure the zipper is fully engaged before layering to prevent snagging the inner lining. Because the material is synthetic polyester, it is generally low-maintenance. To clean the vest, machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle using a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent finish. Always hang the garment to air dry rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as extreme heat may damage the integrity of the synthetic insulation fibers.
