FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
The shell is made of durable nylon, which provides protection against light wind and snow, but it is not fully waterproof.
How does the sizing run?
The vest features an intentionally oversized fit. If you prefer a more standard or snug fit, consider sizing down from your usual choice.
Can I wear this for heavy rain?
It is recommended to use the vest in dry, cold conditions. If it gets wet, ensure it is dried thoroughly to prevent the down from clumping.
Does it have a hood?
No, this version is a vest design and does not feature a hood.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, all exterior hand pockets and the interior pocket feature secure zipper closures.
How do I adjust the fit?
Use the adjustable shock cord located inside the hem to cinch the waist and customize the shape.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers leaking through the fabric
This is normal for high-loft down garments. Pull the feather back inside from the opposite side rather than pulling it out, then rub the fabric to close the gap.
Vest loses its loft or appears flat
Tumble dry the garment on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the down clusters and restore air pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your vest, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild down-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore loft.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the vest for long periods to maintain the integrity of the down clusters.
- Compatibility: The vest works best as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell or as an outer layer in dry, cold conditions.
