Product Information
Full details
The North Face Nimble Vest is designed for adult men seeking a versatile, lightweight layering piece that excels in active outdoor environments. It provides superior moisture management through advanced fabric technology, ensuring you stay dry during high-exertion activities; however, as a sleeveless gilet, it does not provide full arm protection in extreme cold, making it best suited for transitional weather or as a core-warming mid-layer.

FAQs
Is the Nimble Vest waterproof?
No, it is designed for moisture management and comfort, but it is not a waterproof shell.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, tumble dry on a low heat setting, but avoid excessive heat which can damage the fabric's technical fibers.
What does FlashDry technology do?
FlashDry technology accelerates the removal of moisture from the skin and speeds up evaporation, keeping you dry.
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable; please follow the care tag for specific water temperature recommendations.
Is this vest suitable for running?
Yes, its lightweight nature and moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for runners needing core warmth.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the vest
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable fabrics underneath; layer with synthetic or wool base layers to allow FlashDry to function correctly.
Zipper sticking
Clear any fabric or debris from the zipper track. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a pencil lead over the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as they can impede the performance of the moisture-wicking FlashDry technology. For compatibility, the vest fits true to size as a standard mid-layer, but if you intend to wear it over multiple thick layers, you may consider sizing up. When storing, hang the vest to maintain the shape of the elastic hem binding.
