FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Fort 801 Thermal Long Sleeve Vest?

Its primary purpose is to provide a warm, comfortable base layer for adults who need to stay warm in cold outdoor conditions.

What material is the vest made of?

The vest is made from a blend of 50% Polyester and 50% Cotton, with a brushed fabric finish for added softness.

Is this vest suitable for intense physical activity?

While lightweight, its primary design is for warmth and comfort. For very high-intensity activities, breathability might be a consideration, and alternative base layers might be preferred.

How should I wash the vest?

It can be machine washed at a moderate temperature (around 40°C) with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Avoid bleach and ironing.

What does '180gsm' mean?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which indicates the fabric's weight. 180gsm suggests a medium-weight fabric suitable for warmth without being overly heavy.

Does the vest come in other colors?

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or too loose

Refer to the sizing chart before purchase. If the fit is not as expected, consider exchanging for a different size if possible, or layering with looser outer garments.

Fabric feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Using fabric softener sparingly might help restore softness, but avoid high heat drying which can degrade fabric.

Vest does not seem warm enough

This vest is a base layer; ensure it is worn directly against the skin or over a very thin layer. For extreme cold, consider adding additional insulating layers over the vest.
