FAQs
Is this vest suitable for freezing temperatures?
The vest is designed for light to moderate temperatures. While it offers good core warmth, it is best used as a layering piece in very cold conditions.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
No. The DWR treatment is designed for light weather and mist; it is not a fully waterproof garment.
How do I choose the right size?
The vest follows a regular fit. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer your standard size or slightly larger.
Does it have an inside pocket?
The vest features functional patch pockets on the exterior, but please refer to the specific garment tags for internal pocket configurations.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, but always use a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the polyester fabric and water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric
The DWR treatment may need reactivation or reapplication. Follow the care label for washing and consider using a water-repellent spray treatment designed for polyester garments.
Zip closure feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to the tracks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your vest in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always check the interior garment label for specific washing instructions. Generally, gentle machine wash in cold water is recommended to preserve the DWR treatment.
- Drying: Air drying is preferred to prevent damage to the inner lining and maintain the structural integrity of the quilting.
- Storage: Hang the vest on a wide-shouldered hanger to ensure the garment retains its shape over time. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Compatibility: The neutral black colorway makes it highly compatible with denim, chinos, and a wide variety of footwear, from leather boots to casual sneakers.
