Their design keeps your core warm while allowing freedom of movement for hiking, camping, or everyday errands.

To keep your down vest in great condition, air it out after each use and store it uncompressed in a cool, dry place. When it needs cleaning, follow the care instructions on the label—typically, gentle machine washing with mild detergent and thorough drying on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid storing your vest in its stuff sack for extended periods, as this can compress the down and reduce its insulating power.
