FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Crew Insulator 2.0 Vest?

The vest is designed to provide lightweight warmth and comfort with a classic maritime style, suitable for both on-water activities and casual wear.

Is the vest waterproof?

The vest features water-repellent microfiber fabrics, meaning it can withstand light rain or spray, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

What type of insulation does the vest use?

It uses 100g Primaloft Black Eco insulation, which is known for its warmth, lightness, and sustainability (made from recycled polyester).

How should I wash the vest?

Machine wash in cold water (30°C) with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on low if needed. Wash dark colors separately.

Can this vest be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For extreme cold, additional layers would be necessary.

What does 'water-repellent' mean in the context of this vest?

Water-repellent means the fabric surface is treated to resist water absorption. Water will bead up and roll off the surface, providing protection against light moisture. It does not mean the garment is impervious to water like a waterproof item.

Is the insulation made from recycled materials?

Yes, the Primaloft Black Eco insulation used in the vest is made from 100% recycled polyester.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or too loose

Refer to the size chart and ensure you have selected the correct size. The vest is designed for a regular fit, consider layering options if needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Reduced water repellency over time

Water repellency can be restored by applying a fabric-specific waterproofing treatment. Ensure the garment is clean before applying. Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can affect repellency.

Fading of color

This is a possibility with bright colors. To minimize fading, wash dark colors separately and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Following the care instructions closely will help preserve color.
