FAQs
Is the down ethically sourced?
Yes, this vest uses Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified feathers.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The vest is water-repellent, meaning it handles light showers well, but it is not fully waterproof and should be paired with a shell in extreme weather.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The garment is a regular fit. Compare your measurements against a standard size chart, keeping in mind the nylon fabric has slight stretch.
What is the benefit of the seamless tunnel construction?
It minimizes stitch holes, which prevents heat leakage and stops the down feathers from migrating or leaking out of the compartments.
Can the garment-dyed finish fade?
Stone Island garment dyeing is designed to be unique; wash inside out and avoid direct sunlight when drying to maintain the color intensity.
Troubleshooting
Feathers poking through the fabric
Small amounts of shedding can occur with down garments. Gently massage the area to pull the feather back inside, or use a soft-bristled brush to coax it back through the weave.
Water no longer beading on the surface
The anti-drop agent may have worn off. Wash the garment according to instructions and consider a post-wash DWR re-application.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a tiny amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the anti-drop treatment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to help redistribute the down and prevent clumping.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface, you may apply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical nylon.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the padded collar and shoulders. Avoid compressing the vest under heavy items for long periods.
