Is the Crofton Vest waterproof?

Can I machine wash my Crofton Vest?
Yes, you can machine wash it. Always use cold water (30 degrees Celsius) on a gentle cycle, preferably with a down-specific detergent. Make sure to close all zippers before washing.
Is the Crofton Vest packable?
Yes, a key feature of the Crofton Vest is its packability. It can be easily folded and stowed into its own interior pocket for convenient transport and storage.
Where is the Canada Goose Crofton Vest manufactured?

Does the vest have internal pockets?
Yes, the vest features an interior pocket which also doubles as the stow-away pouch for its packable function. There are also two exterior zipped pockets.
What kind of fabric is the vest made from?
The outer shell of the vest is made from 100% recycled nylon ripstop fabric, known for its durability and resistance to tearing, while the lining is 100% polyamide.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels flat or lumpy after washing
This is common with down products. Tumble dry the vest on low heat with 3-5 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Periodically remove and fluff the vest by hand to break up down clumps and redistribute the fill evenly. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Water repellency seems to diminish over time
While the vest is water repellent, heavy or prolonged exposure can reduce its effectiveness over time. Re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outerwear. Ensure the vest is clean and dry before application.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try lubricating the zipper teeth with a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Make sure the two-way zipper is properly aligned at the bottom before zipping up.
Small feathers are coming out of the fabric
It is normal for some small feathers to escape from down-filled products, especially when new. This should lessen over time. Gently push any feathers back in from the inside if possible, rather than pulling them out, to prevent enlarging the hole.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Crofton Vest.
- Machine Wash Cold: Always machine wash the vest in cold water (maximum 30 degrees Celsius). Use a gentle cycle.
- Use Down-Specific Detergent: For best results, use a specialized down-friendly detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners as these can damage the down and fabric.
- Close Zippers: Before washing, ensure all zippers (main and pockets) are closed.
- Tumble Dry Low with Tennis Balls: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. To help redistribute the down and restore loft, place a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls in the dryer with the vest.
- Frequent Checking: Periodically remove the vest from the dryer to manually break up any remaining clumps of down.
- Avoid Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean the vest.
- Air Drying: If possible, finish by air drying the vest flat or hanging it in a well-ventilated area until completely dry, ensuring no moisture remains inside the down fill. This can take some time.
- Storage: Store the vest uncompressed in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged compression as it can affect down loft.
