Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Columbia Steens Mountain Vest remains in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry low. Avoid high heat as it can damage the loft of the fleece.
