FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Core Identity waistcoat?
The main benefit is its ability to provide significant warmth without bulk, making it lightweight and easily packable for convenience.
What materials is the waistcoat made from?
The main fabric is recycled polyamide, and the filling is 90% white duck down and 10% duck feathers. The stretch finish is polyamide and elastane.
How should I wash the waistcoat?
It should be machine washed cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle, and tumble dried on low heat with tennis balls. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Is this waistcoat suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed for mild to cool conditions and is excellent as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it would likely need to be worn under a heavier insulated jacket.
What does 'packable' mean in this context?
Packable means the waistcoat can be compressed into a small size, making it easy to carry in a bag or pocket when not in use.
Can I wear this waistcoat as a standalone outer layer?
Yes, it can be worn as a standalone outer layer in mild, dry conditions. For wet or very cold weather, it's best used as a layer under a more protective outer shell.
What sizes are available?
The Core Identity waistcoat is available in a wide range of sizes, from XXS to 5XL.
Troubleshooting
Down filling feels clumpy after washing.
Place the waistcoat in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The balls will help break up clumps and restore loft to the down.
Fabric appears wrinkled after drying.
Try a short cycle in the dryer on low heat, or gently steam the garment. Avoid ironing directly on the fabric.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth.
