FAQs

What type of filling is used in this vest?

The vest is filled with genuine down, providing excellent insulation and a snug fit.

Is the vest suitable for heavy rain?

The vest features a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain or moisture. For heavy rain, it is recommended to layer it under a waterproof outer shell.

How does the sizing run for this vest?

The vest is designed for a snug fit. Refer to the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements, considering your chest and waist.

Can this vest be worn in very cold temperatures?

The vest provides good core warmth due to its down filling. For very cold temperatures, it is designed to be layered effectively with warmer jackets or sweaters.

What does 'Essentials' collection mean?

The 'Essentials' collection consists of timeless, versatile wardrobe staples with clean designs that are intended to be worn across seasons and easily integrated into any existing wardrobe.

What is the material of the vest?

The vest is made from chevron quilted nylon spandex, which is extremely light, strong, durable, and water-repellent.

Troubleshooting

Down filling clumping after washing.

Ensure the vest is completely dry. Place it in a dryer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls and run for several cycles until the down is fully fluffed and evenly distributed.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear after cleaning.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required.

Compatibility: The vest is designed for versatile layering. It pairs well with a variety of shirts, sweaters, and outerwear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and re-fluff the down filling.

  4. Cleaning: For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
