Taion Military V Neck W-Zip Down Vest - Dark Charcoal

The Taion Military V Neck W-Zip Down Vest in Dark Charcoal takes the brand's soft-shell construction and adds the practical details of the Military line: a two-way front zip, side slits for movement, and twin patch pockets. Filled with 800FP down, it keeps you warm without the stiffness that heavier outerwear can bring.

Comparing the Military line to Taion's standard down vests? Our Taion down vest guide explains the differences and how each fits.

Key Features

• 800FP down insulation for strong heat retention with low bulk
• Two-way YKK front zip to adjust ventilation on the move
• Side slit zips for a freer range of movement
• Twin patch pockets at the waist for essentials and hand warmth
• Soft, durable shell fabric that resists wind and daily wear

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Countryside walks where a soft shell handles the wind better than a plain fleece
• Down-filled warmth for mild hikes and outdoor leisure
• Layering over a shirt or jumper for city days that turn cold in the evening
• Pairing with other Military line pieces for a coordinated look

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• A tip from our fitting experience: this vest is unisex and cut with a regular fit for comfortable layering
• Room at the shoulders means it sits well over a jumper without pulling
• The V-neck opening allows plenty of movement at the neck and chest
• Stick with your usual size unless you're regularly layering thick knitwear underneath, in which case size up

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold with a gentle detergent formulated for down or delicate fabrics
• Avoid wringing; press water out gently and reshape while damp
• Air dry flat, shaking occasionally to bring back the loft
• Store in the included bag rather than compressed long term to preserve insulation

Taion Military V Neck W-Zip Down Vest - Our FAQs

1. Does the soft-shell fabric feel stiff or noisy when moving? No, the shell is soft and flexible, so it moves quietly and comfortably compared with harder-shelled outerwear.
2. How do the side slits help? They open up extra room for movement and can be used to adjust ventilation on warmer days.
3. What's the two-way zip for? It lets you open the jacket from the bottom as well as the top, useful for sitting down or reaching into pockets while zipped up.
4. How windproof is it? The soft-shell fabric offers good wind resistance for everyday use, though it isn't designed as a fully waterproof outer layer.
5. Is it worth it for the price? As a layering piece you'll reach for through most of the colder months, it earns a low cost per wear over time.
6. Does it come with a storage bag? Yes, it includes a compact bag so it packs down easily for travel or commuting.
