Product Information
Full details
The Gramicci Reversible Fleece Vest is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and warm layering piece for colder weather. Its key benefit is dual-sided wear, offering both soft fleece and durable nylon for adaptable style and protection against the chill. A potential caveat is its primary function as a mid-layer, requiring an outer shell in harsh conditions.

FAQs
What material is the vest made of?
The vest is made of 100% polyester, featuring soft fleece on one side and dry-touch nylon on the other.
How do I know which side to wear facing outwards?
You can wear it either way. The fleece side offers maximum softness and warmth, while the nylon side provides a smoother finish and some wind resistance.
Is this vest suitable for heavy rain?
The nylon side offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over the vest.
How should I clean the vest?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat ironing.
Does it have secure pockets?
Yes, the vest features handwarmer pockets, typically secured with zippers, to keep your hands warm and your belongings safe.
What is the primary function of this vest?
Its primary function is to serve as a warm, versatile mid-layer for cooler weather, providing core body warmth without restricting movement.
Can this vest be worn by women?
While designed for men, the sizing and fit may be suitable for women depending on desired fit and layering preferences. It's recommended to check the specific sizing chart.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the product's size chart for accurate measurements before purchase. If already owned, consider the intended layering (e.g., wear over thicker items for a snugger fit, or thinner items for a looser fit).
Zipper is sticking
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Clean the zipper area if debris is present.
Fleece is pilling or looking worn
This is normal wear for fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Minimal warmth in very cold/windy conditions
The vest is designed as a mid-layer. For extreme cold or wind, layer it under a windproof and/or waterproof outer jacket.
