Columbia Steens Mountain Vest Fleece Gilet Vest - Grey - M

The vest is crafted from 250g MTR filament fleece, providing deep pile warmth and coziness.

While the fleece offers good warmth, its sleeveless design means it's best suited as a layering piece. For very cold or snowy conditions, additional insulated outerwear would be recommended.

You can machine wash the vest cold with like colors and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

The two zippered side pockets keep your hands warm and securely store small personal items like keys or a phone.

This specific product listing is for the grey variant. The Columbia Steens Mountain Vest is available in other colors such as blue and black, as seen in its sibling products.

A gilet vest is another term for a sleeveless vest, emphasizing its function as an insulating layer for the torso.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect fleece texture. Tumble dry on low heat.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or lip balm to the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fleece can lose loft over time. Ensure the care instructions are followed to maintain the material's integrity. Consider it may need replacement after extended use if the loft significantly diminishes.
