Troubleshooting
Down feathers leaking through fabric
This is common with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Vest loses loft after washing
Tumble dry the vest on a low-heat setting with dryer balls to fluff the feathers back up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your vest in optimal condition, avoid exposing it to sharp objects that might snag the fabric. For maintenance, it is recommended to follow the care label strictly, as down insulation requires specific washing and drying techniques to prevent clumping. Use a mild detergent and, if possible, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help the down maintain its loft. When not in use, store the vest in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade the fabric color.
