FAQs

What is the main benefit of the aluminum film lamination?

The aluminum film lamination enhances the garment's thermal insulation properties and gives the polyester ripstop a distinctive, slightly three-dimensional and textured appearance.

Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?

The vest provides good insulation for transitional weather and moderate cold. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over warmer garments.

How do I wash this Stone Island vest?

It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle (30°C) and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and high temperatures.

Can I iron this vest?

Yes, if necessary, use a cool iron setting (maximum 110°C) and preferably iron on the reverse side or with a protective cloth to avoid direct contact with the laminated surface.

What does 'Metal Lamina Poly Ripstop' mean?

It refers to the material: a polyester fabric woven in a ripstop pattern (to prevent tears from spreading), which has been laminated with a thin layer of aluminum film on the inside for added insulation and texture.

Is the vest waterproof?

The material is laminated for enhanced insulation and texture. While it may offer some resistance to light moisture, it is not designed as a waterproof garment.

What sizes are available?

This specific model is available in various sizes, including S, M, L, XL, and XXL, catering to different fit preferences.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels stiff or loses its texture.

This can sometimes occur with the aluminum lamination. Ensure you are following the recommended cold wash and air dry procedures. Avoid high heat during washing or drying, which can damage the lamination.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Material appears creased after storage.

Hang the vest for a few days to allow creases to fall out naturally. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, taking care not to overheat the laminated surface.
