Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell.
Vest loses loft after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters evenly.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure the zipper track is clean of debris and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant like graphite.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Down Vest retains its loft and warmth, always follow the care label instructions provided on the inside garment tag. Generally, you should machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. To restore the down filling after washing, it is highly recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down. Store the vest in a cool, dry place; avoid compressing it in tight storage for long periods to prevent permanent damage to the insulation clusters.
