FAQs
Is this vest windproof?
No, the Better Sweater material is breathable, which means it allows some airflow. It is best used as a mid-layer under a windproof shell in extreme conditions.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it is safe to tumble dry on low heat, though hang drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric.
Does this vest have internal pockets?
The standard design focuses on external zippered pockets for accessibility.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The fit is generally considered standard, designed for layering. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.
What is the material composition?
This vest is made of 100% polyester fleece with a sweater-knit face.
Troubleshooting
Visible pilling on the exterior fabric
Use a fabric shaver or sweater stone to gently remove pills. Avoid pulling at them, as this can damage the knit structure.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If it persists, run a pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to improve smoothness.
