Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the vest water-resistant?
The CORDURA nylon provides inherent durability and resistance, though it is not marketed as a fully waterproof garment. It is best suited for light precipitation.
What does RDS certified mean?
RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard, which ensures that the down and feathers used come from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm.
Can I tumble dry this vest?
Yes, tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to ensure the down loft is restored after washing.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment follows standard sizing conventions; however, as it is a layering piece, you may prefer your usual size for a slim fit or one size up if wearing over thick sweaters.
What is Nylon 6.6?
Nylon 6.6 is a high-tenacity fiber known for its exceptional strength, heat resistance, and durability compared to standard nylon variants.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers appearing on the surface
Small amounts of shedding are common with down garments; gently pull the feather back inside the vest from the inside rather than pulling it through the fabric.
Fabric looks dull after washing
Ensure you are using a detergent without brighteners and consider an extra rinse cycle to remove any residual soap film.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your vest, always consult the internal care label. Due to the RDS down filling and CORDURA fabric, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-resistant properties and the breathability of the nylon. When drying, use a low-heat setting and include clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-fluff the down. Store the vest in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain its shape.
