FAQs

What makes this vest sustainable?

This product is made from at least 70% recycled materials. By reusing materials, adidas helps reduce waste and reliance on finite resources.

How do I know if the regular fit is right for me?

The regular fit is designed to be not too tight and not too loose, offering a comfortable middle ground. If you prefer a very snug fit, consider sizing down. For an oversized look, consider sizing up or looking for a different fit style.

Will this vest keep me warm in freezing temperatures?

This is a lightweight down vest, best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it under a heavier, insulated jacket.

How often should I wash the vest?

Wash only when necessary to maintain the down's loft and water repellency. Spot clean small stains if possible. Follow the care label instructions precisely when washing.

What does PFC-free mean?

PFC-free refers to the absence of perfluorinated chemicals in the water-repellent finish. This is a more environmentally friendly approach to water resistance.

Can I wear this vest in the rain?

The vest has a durable, PFC-free water-repellent (DWR) finish that allows light rain and snow to fall off, providing protection in light precipitation. It is not intended for heavy rain conditions.

Troubleshooting

Vest appears to have lost its loft or warmth.

Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls for 20-minute cycles. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore its fluffy, insulating properties.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for down garments after cleaning, following the product's instructions. Avoid fabric softeners during washing, as they can impact water repellency.

Zipper is stuck.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully try to pull it away from the zipper teeth. Lubricating the zipper with a pencil lead or wax can sometimes help.
