FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
The nylon shell provides water resistance, but the vest is not fully waterproof and should not be worn in heavy, sustained rain.

What type of insulation is used?
This vest uses premium goose down for superior loft, compression, and warmth.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the vest features both front and interior pockets equipped with secure zippers.
Can I machine wash this vest?

Is the branding visible?

Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through the fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the shell from the opposite side rather than pulling it out.
Vest loses its fluffiness after storage
Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to restore the loft of the goose down insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the loft and performance of the down insulation, store the vest in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it for long periods. If the garment becomes soiled, it is recommended to follow professional down-cleaning services to ensure the down clusters remain fluffy and free of clumpiness. Because of the oversized fit, consider your standard sizing carefully; if you prefer a less voluminous look, you may choose to size down. The nylon outer shell is water-resistant but should not be submerged in heavy rain. For daily care, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals or machine drying on high heat, which can damage the down.
