FAQs
What is the main benefit of the down filling?
The 90% white duck down and 10% duck feather filling provides excellent warmth while remaining lightweight and minimizing bulk, offering superior insulation without compromising comfort.
Is this vest suitable for very cold, wet weather?
While the vest offers good warmth, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For very cold or wet weather, it is recommended to wear it under a waterproof and windproof outer layer.
How does the 'packable' feature work?
The vest is designed to be easily folded or rolled into a compact size, making it convenient to store in a backpack or travel bag when not in use.
What does 'recycled polyamide' mean for the vest?
The main fabric is made from polyamide that has been reclaimed and processed, offering a durable material with a reduced environmental impact compared to virgin materials.
Can I wear this vest over a thick jumper?
The vest has a slim fit, so while it can be layered over thinner items like t-shirts or long-sleeved shirts, layering over very thick jumpers might feel restrictive. Consider sizing up if you plan to layer over bulky items.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase receipt or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by EA7 or the retailer. The vest is available in sizes from XXS to 5XL. Measure your chest and waist and compare with the chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Vest appears flat after washing
Ensure the vest is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-fluff the down insulation.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric free. You can also use a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant on the zipper teeth.
Down feathers are escaping through the fabric
This can occasionally happen with down-filled products. Gently pull the feather back into the fabric from the opposite side or leave it. Avoid pulling hard as this can enlarge the hole.
Vest does not feel as warm as expected
Ensure the vest is properly layered. It functions best as a mid-layer or under a windproof outer shell. Check that the down has not become compressed or wet, which reduces its insulating properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
This vest is designed for men and is available in a wide range of sizes (XXS to 5XL). Its casual style makes it compatible with various outfits, including t-shirts, sweaters, and casual shirts.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and loft of the down filling, it is recommended to:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of mild detergent. It is advisable to wash with fasteners closed and perhaps place the garment in a mesh bag.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-distribute and re-fluff the down filling. Do not use fabric softener.
- Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid compressing the vest for extended periods to preserve its loft.
- Cleaning: For minor spots, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid dry cleaning as chemicals can damage the down.
