FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
The vest is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and splashes well, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged exposure to rain.
What is the benefit of Primaloft?
Primaloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and loft of down while retaining its thermal properties even when wet.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it is designed for both layering and as a standalone outer garment in cool, dry conditions.
How should I store the vest?
Store it in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing it under heavy items for long periods to maintain its insulation performance.
Is this item machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always use a mild detergent and follow the garment label instructions.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for synthetic technical apparel.
Vest loses loft or warmth
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute and fluff the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires minimal setup; simply ensure the sizing matches your current layering needs. For compatibility, it is best paired with a technical base layer to manage moisture. To care for your vest, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent to preserve the water-repellent finish. Avoid harsh fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore the loft of the Primaloft insulation. Always consult the internal care label for specific temperature guidance, as excessive heat can degrade synthetic fibers.
