Full details

FAQs
What does 'seamless tunnel' mean for this vest?
Seamless tunnels are created by a special weaving technique that forms feather compartments directly into the fabric. This prevents down from shifting or escaping through stitches, ensuring more uniform insulation and durability.
Is this vest suitable for very cold weather on its own?
This vest is designed for insulation and can be worn alone in mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is intended to be layered with other garments for optimal warmth.
How do I ensure the down stays lofty and warm?
Proper care is essential. Always follow the washing and drying instructions, particularly the recommendation to tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help re-fluff the down.
What does RDS certified mean?
RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It certifies that the down used in the product comes from animals that have been treated ethically and not subjected to unnecessary harm.
Can I machine wash this vest?
Yes, the vest can be machine washed on a cold (30°C) delicate cycle. Avoid bleach and high heat in the dryer. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
What is the benefit of the garment dyeing and anti-drop finish?
Garment dyeing allows for a unique color depth and finish. The anti-drop finish provides a degree of water and stain resistance, helping to protect against light moisture and keeping the fabric cleaner.
How much recycled nylon is in the vest?
The fabric is made with 86% recycled nylon, contributing to reduced environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers leaking
Slight feather leakage can occur initially with down products. If significant leakage occurs, check the integrity of the seams and fabric. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to care instructions.
Vest feels less warm after washing
Down may clump after washing. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft. Ensure the garment is completely dry.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently work the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Exterior fabric feels damp despite anti-drop finish
The anti-drop finish offers water resistance, not full waterproofing. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the fabric. Ensure the garment is properly dried after exposure to moisture.
