Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be wearing off
Wash the garment and tumble dry on low to reactivate the factory finish, or apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy
Tumble dry the vest on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the synthetic fill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the water-repellent coating and the integrity of the insulation, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Removing the garment promptly after the cycle finishes helps maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
- Storage: Hang the vest on a padded hanger to maintain its shape, rather than folding it tightly, which may compress the fill over time.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs best with Nike moisture-wicking long-sleeve base layers or thermal leggings, depending on the outside temperature.
