Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This padded vest is cut in a regular fit profile, designed to layer comfortably over thick sweaters or hoodies.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your standard size for a classic, comfortable fit.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle at 30 degrees using a mild liquid detergent.
• Zip up all fasteners and wash inside out with similar dark colours.
• Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as they can degrade the water resistant coating and synthetic loft.

• Do not iron or dry clean.
