FAQs

What is the primary material of this vest?

The vest is primarily made from 8.7oz Polartec® 100% recycled polyester double-sided shearling fleece.

Is this vest waterproof?

No, the vest is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, and should be layered with a waterproof outer shell if needed.

How should I wash the vest?

Machine wash cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry low or hang dry.

What does 'Fair Trade Certified™ Factory' mean?

It means the product was made in a factory that is independently certified to meet fair labor standards, ensuring workers receive fair wages and have safe working conditions.

What are the pocket dimensions or capacity?

The product description does not specify exact pocket dimensions, but notes they are mesh-lined and secured with zippers, suitable for items like keys, a phone, or a wallet.

Can this vest be worn in very cold weather?

It provides good core warmth but is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold weather, or as an outer layer in milder, cold conditions.

What is the weight of the vest?

The vest weighs approximately 306g / 10.8oz.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears matted or less fluffy.

Avoid using fabric softener during washing. If matting has occurred, try gently using a fabric shaver on the surface.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (from a pencil) to the teeth.

Vest feels too loose or drafty.

The vest is designed for a regular fit. For a snugger fit, consider layering with a tighter-fitting base layer underneath or pairing with a jacket that has adjustable cuffs and hem.

Small snags or tears in the fabric.

For minor snags, gently try to push the snagged fibers back through to the inside. For small tears, consider a fabric repair patch or professional repair if significant.
