FAQs

Is this vest waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be worn during heavy storms.

Can I wear this as a mid-layer?

Yes, its regular fit and lightweight construction make it an excellent mid-layer under a heavier coat in colder months.

How should I store the gilet?

Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods, as this can affect the down's loft over time.

What is the material composition?

The shell is made from certified recycled polyester, and the filling consists of 90% down and 10% feathers.

Does it have internal pockets?

The design features external zip pockets for secure storage of your essentials.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers poking through fabric

This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back inside from the opposite side and rub the fabric to close the gap.

Garment feels flat after washing

Ensure the gilet is tumble dried on low with clean tennis balls to fluff the down back to its original loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack
  • Versatile layering piece for multiple seasons
  • High-quality sustainable recycled materials
  • Effective DWR coating for light precipitation
  • Functional two-way zipper enhances mobility

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy downpours or extreme storms
  • Requires specialized care for down cleaning
  • Limited to light insulation needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a down-filled garment, maintenance is key to preserving its loft and performance. Always check the internal care label for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent designed for down garments. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can strip the DWR finish and coat the down feathers, reducing their ability to fluff. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with a few clean tennis balls in the dryer to help redistribute the down and restore the vest's original volume.
