Full details
The Canada Goose Stratus Vest is a lightweight, down-filled vest for adult males seeking versatile layering for city commutes or outdoor excursions. Its key benefit is providing core warmth without restricting movement. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit all body types for snug layering. This vest merges Canada Goose's Arctic-tested heritage with refined design, featuring a funnel neck, zip fastening, dual zip pockets, and a woven chest logo. It's constructed with a 100% polyamide outer and filled with a 90% duck down, 10% duck feather blend for optimal insulation.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Stratus Vest?
The Stratus Vest is designed as a versatile, lightweight insulating layer for core warmth, suitable for urban environments and outdoor activities in transitional or cool weather.
How should I clean the vest?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help restore the down's loft. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What is the fill material?
The vest is filled with 90% duck down and 10% duck feathers, providing a high warmth-to-weight ratio.
Is the outer material waterproof?
The 100% polyamide outer shell is water-resistant, offering protection against light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can this vest be worn in very cold temperatures?
For very cold temperatures, the Stratus Vest is best used as a mid-layer under a more robust, insulated, and windproof outer jacket. On its own, it is most effective in mild to cool conditions.
How do I best store the vest to maintain its insulation?
Store the vest loosely folded or hung in a dry, breathable place. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state, as this can reduce the down's loft and insulating power.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this vest?
A regular fit is designed to be comfortable and allow for layering over other garments without being too tight or too baggy. It offers a balance between mobility and thermal efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the down is evenly distributed. If the vest has been compressed for storage, gently shake it to help redistribute the fill. Check for any moisture, as wet down loses its insulating properties. Consider if the vest is being used in conditions that require a heavier insulating layer or a windproof outer shell.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
Down feathers are escaping from seams.
Minor feather escape can occur with down products. If significant leakage is present, check seams for any small holes. Gently pull any protruding feathers back into the fabric rather than pulling them out.
