FAQs
What type of insulation is used in the vest?
The vest features 800-fill ethically sourced goose down insulation in the upper front body and strategic 100g synthetic insulation in other key areas for lightweight warmth.
Is this vest suitable for heavy rain?
The vest has UA Storm technology which repels water, making it suitable for light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be recommended.
How should I wash the vest?
Machine wash cold with like colors, with all zippers zipped up. Do not bleach, iron, use softeners, or dry clean. Tumble dry low.
Can I wear this vest as my only outer layer in winter?
While it provides significant warmth, it is best suited for cool to cold temperatures or as a layering piece under a heavier jacket during very cold winter conditions.
What does '800-fill' refer to regarding the down?
Fill power (e.g., 800) is a measure of the down's loft or fluffiness. Higher fill power means the down is lighter, more compressible, and provides better insulation for its weight.
Are the pockets insulated?
The vest features secure zip hand pockets and two interior pockets. The description does not specify if the hand pockets are insulated, but the synthetic insulation is strategically placed on the lower front body, which includes the area around the hand pockets.
What are the main materials of the vest?
The main body is made of 89% Polyester and 11% Elastane. The insulation is ethically sourced goose down and synthetic fill.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels less warm than expected
Ensure the down insulation is not compressed or wet. If recently washed, ensure it is thoroughly dried on a low setting. Check that all zippers are fully closed during wear.
Water is not repelling effectively
The UA Storm finish may be degrading. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for technical apparel after washing and drying according to care instructions.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Always zip carefully.
Pilling or fabric damage
Avoid abrasive surfaces and follow care instructions strictly, especially regarding washing and drying. Do not iron.
