Troubleshooting
Vest feels damp or clumpy after washing.
Ensure the vest is completely dry. Continue tumble drying on low heat, adding clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and re-distribute the down. Multiple drying cycles may be necessary.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to free the fabric. You can also apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Reduced warmth after washing.
The down may have clumped. Follow the specific drying instructions, using tennis balls during tumble drying to help restore loft and warmth. Ensure no detergent residue remains.
