FAQs
What is Primaloft® Black Eco insulation?
Primaloft® Black Eco is a high-performance insulation made from recycled polyester. It provides excellent warmth, is lightweight, and offers good compressibility while being environmentally conscious.
Is the vest waterproof?
The vest is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can this vest be worn in very cold weather?
The vest provides lightweight warmth and is excellent as a layering piece. For very cold weather, it is best worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.
What material is the vest made of?
The outer shell, lining, and insulation are all made from 100% polyester. The insulation is specifically recycled polyester.
How should I wash the vest?
Machine wash in cold water (30°C), do not use bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on low temperature. Do not use fabric softener and remove from the washing machine quickly.
Will the color fade?
Slight fading may occur on bright colors, especially after repeated washing. It is recommended to wash dark colors separately.
What is the weight of the vest?
The vest weighs approximately 300.0 grams.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart. The vest has a regular fit designed for comfortable layering.
Reduced water repellency
Water repellency can diminish over time. Consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofer spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. You can gently lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Fading of color
Follow care instructions carefully, washing in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents. Wash dark colors separately. Embrace the slight fading as part of the garment's character or consider it for darker color options if fading is a concern.
