FAQs
Is this vest truly waterproof?
The vest features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which means it can resist light moisture and showers. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in heavy rain.
What type of weather is this vest best suited for?
It is ideal for cool or breezy conditions, or light rain. It is best used as a layering piece for golf or other outdoor activities where flexibility and moderate weather protection are needed.
How should I clean the vest?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting and do not iron or dry clean.
Can I wear this vest in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather as a layer over a warm base layer or mid-layer. It provides wind resistance and some warmth, but for very cold conditions, additional insulation will be necessary.
What does 'ripstop' fabric mean?
Ripstop fabric is a woven fabric that is made using a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Small tears will not spread easily throughout the fabric.
Where can I find more information about the color?
The product is described as 'deep navy'. For visual details, please refer to the product images on the purchasing page.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
Ensure you followed the care instructions strictly, avoiding fabric softeners and high heat. Consider a re-treatment with a DWR spray designed for technical apparel, following the product's instructions.
Vest feels restrictive during swing.
Verify you have the correct size. If the size is correct, ensure the vest is worn over a base layer or shirt that also allows for easy movement, and that pockets are not overstuffed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
