FAQs

Does the insect repellent coating wash out?

Yes, like many treated fabrics, the effectiveness will gradually decrease after repeated wash cycles.

Can this be worn in heavy rain?

No, it is treated with a DWR finish for light showers and is not designed as a fully waterproof raincoat.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the polyester blend and Isoflex technology are designed to allow for moisture vapor transfer during movement.

How should I measure for the right fit?

Consult a standard size chart, ensuring you have enough room to wear a base layer underneath if layering is intended.

Can I tumble dry the body warmer?

It is recommended to air-dry using the built-in loop to preserve the integrity of the technical coatings.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric during light rain.

The DWR finish has likely worn off; apply a fresh water-repellent spray treatment and allow it to dry completely.

Zip becomes difficult to operate.

Clear any debris or fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is clean. A light application of graphite or silicone zipper lubricant can improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the garment, adhere to these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR and insect-repellent coatings.
  2. Drying: Use the integrated drying loop to hang the vest in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  3. Re-treating: Over time, the DWR finish may need to be refreshed using a standard spray-on water-repellent treatment.
  4. Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before packing it away for extended periods to prevent mildew.
  5. Compatibility: This piece fits well over standard base layers and should be selected based on your usual size for a comfortable layering fit.
