FAQs
Is the hood fully removable?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to choose between a hooded or collar-only look.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The nylon material provides minor protection against light mist, but it is not waterproof and should not be used as a primary rain jacket.
What is the best way to store the vest?
Hang it in a cool, dry closet on a sturdy hanger to help maintain the structure of the quilting and the shape of the hood.
Does this vest run true to size?
The vest features a regular fit, which is designed to accommodate standard base layers comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose.
Can I tumble dry this item?
Yes, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting, though line drying is also an excellent, safe option for this material.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for debris in the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught; a light application of silicone-based zipper lubricant can also help.
The vest feels less warm over time
This is often due to dirt/oils compressing the insulation; washing the vest properly on a gentle cycle can help restore the loft of the fill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your vest, follow these care guidelines closely. Always machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to protect the nylon shell and inner insulation. Do not use bleach, as this will damage the fabric color and synthetic materials. When drying, use a tumble dry low setting or opt for line drying to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fills. Do not iron the vest; if wrinkles occur, the gentle heat of a garment steamer from a distance is a safer alternative. Ensure the vest is completely dry before storing it for long periods to avoid moisture buildup in the insulation layers.
