Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your vest performing at its best, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Adding a couple of clean tennis balls to the dryer can help maintain the even distribution of the synthetic insulation.
- Compatibility: The vest is designed to be highly compatible with other layering systems. Use it over a long-sleeve moisture-wicking base layer for high-output activities, or under a hard-shell jacket for wet, windy weather protection.
- Storage: While it is highly compressible, avoid keeping it compressed in its stuff sack for extended periods of time to preserve the longevity of the insulation loft.
