FAQs

What does 'RDS Certified' mean for the down?

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It ensures that the down used in the vest comes from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm, such as live-plucking or force-feeding.

How does the 'seamless tunnel' construction benefit the vest?

The seamless tunnels are created directly during the weaving process, eliminating traditional stitching lines that can be weak points for down leakage and heat loss. This results in more consistent down distribution and enhanced thermal performance.

Is the garment dyeing process permanent?

The garment dyeing process creates a deep, unique color. While durable, it's essential to follow the specific care instructions to maintain the color's integrity and prevent excessive fading or unevenness.

What is the 'anti-drop' agent?

The anti-drop agent is a special treatment applied to the fabric that makes it resistant to water and dirt, helping to keep the garment clean and dry in light adverse conditions.

Can this gilet be worn in heavy rain?

The anti-drop finish offers resistance to light rain and splashes. However, it is not a waterproof garment and is best suited for protection against light precipitation or as a layer in drier conditions.

What is the best way to store the gilet?

Store the gilet in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it heavily for long periods to maintain the loft and insulation of the down. Hanging it is generally recommended.

Troubleshooting

Down leakage from seams

This is unlikely due to the seamless tunnel construction. If minor leakage occurs, gently pull the down back into the vest rather than pulling it through. Avoid excessive force on seams.

Color unevenness after washing

Minor variations are characteristic of the garment dyeing process. Follow care instructions precisely to minimize further changes. Wash inside out and separately.

Zipper is stiff

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Try gently working the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
