FAQs
Is the Canada Goose Crofton Vest waterproof?
The Crofton Vest is designed with a water-repellent exterior, offering protection against light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy downpours.
How do I properly clean my Crofton Vest?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius (cold) on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to use a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the down's loft. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Can I pack this vest for travel?

What is the filling of the vest made of?
The Crofton Vest is filled with premium insulation, consisting of 90% duck down and 10% duck feather, providing lightweight and effective warmth.
Does the vest have internal pockets?
Yes, the vest features an interior pocket which also serves as the self-storage pouch for its packable function. Additionally, it has two zipped exterior pockets for secure storage.
Where is the Canada Goose Crofton Vest manufactured?
The Canada Goose Crofton Vest is proudly Made in Canada, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Is this vest suitable for very cold temperatures?
The Crofton Vest provides continuous warmth and comfort. For extremely cold temperatures or harsh winter conditions, it is best used as a highly insulating mid-layer underneath a heavier, protective outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Vest appears flat or less warm after storage or washing.
This is often due to the down clumping. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up clumps and restore the down's loft and insulating properties. Repeat if necessary.
Zippers are difficult to operate or feel sticky.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help them glide smoothly. Always operate the two-way zipper slowly and carefully.
Water-repellent effect seems diminished over time.
The water-repellent coating can wear off or become less effective with dirt and washes. Ensure the vest is clean, as dirt can impair the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. After washing, some users may choose to apply a DWR-restoring spray designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
Vest has an odor after prolonged use or improper storage.
Follow the machine wash instructions carefully. Ensure the vest is completely dry, including the down fill, before storing. If the odor persists, a second wash with a specialized odor-eliminating detergent for technical fabrics may be helpful. Avoid storing in damp conditions.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Crofton Vest, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Wash: Machine wash the vest at 30 degrees Celsius (cold water). Use a mild detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear if available.
- Gentle Cycle: Select a gentle cycle to protect the down fill and outer fabric.
- Tumble Dry Low with Dryer Balls: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. To help redistribute the down and restore its loft, place a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls in the dryer with the vest.
- Do Not Bleach or Iron: Avoid using bleach or ironing, as these can damage the fabric and down insulation.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the vest is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain down integrity. This may take several cycles with dryer balls.
- Storage: Store the vest unpacked in a cool, dry place to allow the down to loft naturally when not in use for extended periods.
