FAQs
Is this vest made with real down feathers?
No, it features Thermo-Fibre insulation, which is a down-free technology made of lightweight, air-trapping microspheres.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The vest is water-resistant thanks to a PFC-free finish, which protects against light rain and drizzle, but it is not waterproof.
Is the material recycled?
Yes, the garment is constructed using at least 70% recycled materials.
How should I clean my Lapaz Vest?
Use a gentle, low-temperature cycle with mild detergent and air dry to maintain the insulation.
Does the hem have any adjustment features?
Yes, the vest includes an adjustable hem to help you customize the fit and seal in warmth.
What is the primary benefit of the Thermo-Fibre technology?
It provides excellent thermal regulation while being lightweight and entirely synthetic, avoiding the use of animal products.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels flattened after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or wool dryer balls to help fluff the microspheres.
Water beading is less effective over time
The DWR finish may wear off with use; apply a spray-on DWR revitalizer specifically designed for synthetic technical garments.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant or running a graphite pencil along the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lapaz Vest remains in peak condition, proper care is essential. Always consult the garment's internal care label before cleaning. Generally, it is recommended to wash the vest on a gentle or delicate cycle with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the synthetic insulation. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh fabric softeners. Air drying is the preferred method to maintain the loft of the filling; if you must use a tumble dryer, choose a low-heat setting with dryer balls to prevent the insulation from clumping. The vest is compatible with most standard casual outfits and technical layering systems, pairing especially well with fleece mid-layers or waterproof outer jackets.
