FAQs
Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?
The vest provides good insulation but is best used as a mid-layer in very cold weather. For extreme cold, it should be worn under a heavier insulated jacket.
How does the 'Pack-it pocket' feature work?

What type of material is the vest made from?
The vest is made from fleece, which offers warmth and comfort.
Can I wear this vest as outerwear in the rain?
The vest is not designed to be waterproof. It offers some wind resistance but is best paired with a water-resistant or waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
What are the dimensions of the side pockets?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to securely hold common items like a smartphone, keys, or wallet.
Is the vest machine washable?
Yes, the vest is machine washable. Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling after washing
Wash the vest inside out in cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can contribute to pilling.
Zipper is difficult to close or open
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the teeth.
Vest feels too loose or too tight
Refer to the sizing chart before purchasing. If the fit is not as expected, consider exchanging for a different size. This vest features a regular fit, designed for comfortable layering.
