This vest is designed for versatile layering. It can be worn over:

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of your down vest. Follow these instructions carefully:
Washing: Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius (cold wash).
Use a mild detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear.
Close all zippers before washing.
Wash the vest separately or with similar items to prevent damage.
Select a gentle cycle.
Drying: This is the most crucial step for down products.
Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up clumps of down and restore the vest's loft.
Ensure the vest is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve the down's insulating properties. This may take several hours and require periodic fluffing by hand.
Do NOT use bleach, fabric softeners, or dry clean. These can damage the D.D. Shell fabric and the down filling.
Storage: Store the vest in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain its loft.
