FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the glossed finish?
The glossed finish provides a water-resistant outer layer and a sleek, modern aesthetic.
How do I clean the Gorham Glossed Down Vest?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, preferably with tennis balls, and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls.
Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?
It provides excellent lightweight warmth and is ideal for layering. For extreme cold, it is best worn as a mid-layer under a more substantial outer shell.
Can I wear this vest in the rain?
The glossy exterior offers some water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation, a waterproof outer layer is recommended.
What does 'packable' mean in relation to this vest?
It means the vest can be folded or compressed and stored within one of its own pockets, making it very convenient for travel or to carry when not in use.
What size is this specific product?
This specific product listing is for size L in Black.
What is the insulation material?
The insulation is down fill.
Troubleshooting
Down clumps after washing
Ensure the vest is completely dry. Re-tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.
Loss of water resistance
The water resistance may diminish over time. Consider using a specialized down wash and re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Vest feels less warm than expected
Check that the down is evenly distributed. Ensure the vest is properly layered and all zippers/closures are fastened. Down can compress over time, and may require professional cleaning to restore loft.
