FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
It is windproof and designed to handle light wind and elements, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I machine wash this vest?
Yes, machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent, ideally with tennis balls in the dryer to maintain loft.
What is the best way to layer this vest?
It works best as a mid-layer over a long-sleeve compression or thermal shirt, possibly under a lightweight rain shell.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is a fixed feature of the design to provide consistent protection against the wind.
How should I store this vest?
Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to keep the down filling from being compressed for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is normal for down products; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it through the outer fabric.
Garment feels flat after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore the loft and even distribution of the down insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Adidas Windproof Sports Hooded Down Vest, proper care is essential. When washing, always use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle; it is highly recommended to include clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-fluff the down feathers and prevent clumping. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as they can compromise the wind-resistant coating of the fabric. This garment is designed for a performance fit, so choose your size based on your base-layer preferences. The vest is compatible with most standard athletic jackets, allowing you to easily add an outer shell during particularly harsh rain or snow.
