FAQs
What type of insulation is used in this vest?
The vest uses 800-fill goose down insulation on the upper front body for extreme warmth, and strategic 100g synthetic insulation on the lower front body, sides, back, and collar for lightweight warmth.
Is the vest suitable for heavy rain?
The vest features UA Storm technology which repels water, making it suitable for light rain or snow. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate.
How should I wash the Under Armour Halo Vest?
Wash the vest cold with like colors, ensuring it is zipped up. Do not bleach, iron, use softeners, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low.
Can this vest be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in cool to cold weather, especially for activities like training transitions. For very cold or wet conditions, it can also serve as an effective mid-layer.
What is the benefit of having both down and synthetic insulation?
The combination provides a balance of superior warmth and loft from the down in key areas, while synthetic insulation offers reliable warmth even if damp in other strategic zones, and adds durability.
Does the material make noise when moving?
The Jacquard quilted woven fabric is designed to be lightweight and durable. While some material noise is possible with any outerwear, it is generally not considered a significant issue for athletic use.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too bulky
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The vest is designed for warmth, so some bulk is expected, but check for proper fit.
Water repellency seems reduced
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after several washes, following the product's instructions.
Insulation clumping after washing
Ensure the garment was dried on a low heat setting, and consider adding dryer balls to help break up clumps during the drying cycle.
