It pairs well with sportswear, denim, or more tailored casual trousers. Its lightweight profile ensures it can be comfortably worn as a mid-layer without adding excessive bulk.
Proper care will maintain the vest's performance and longevity. Follow these guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle.
Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the down's loft.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls (e.g., tennis balls) to help fluff up the down and prevent clumping. Ensure the vest is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve the down's integrity. This may take several hours.
Bleaching: Do not bleach.
Ironing: Do not iron.
Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing the vest for extended periods to maintain the down's loft.
