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

Warm without being restrictive, that's the aim behind the Taion Military V Neck W-Zip Down Vest in Dark Chocolate. An 800FP down fill sits inside a soft, wind-resistant shell, while a two-way front zip and side slits give it more freedom to move than a standard quilted vest.

Key Features

• 800FP down fill for lightweight, effective insulation
• Two-way YKK zip for adjustable ventilation and easy access when seated
• Zippered side slits that free up movement through the hips
• Twin patch pockets for keys, phone or cold hands
• Soft-shell outer fabric that shrugs off wind and everyday knocks

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Layering through the transitional months when a full coat is too much
• Countryside or park walks where wind resistance matters more than waterproofing
• Commuting on foot or by bike, where freedom of movement counts
• Building a Military line outfit alongside other Taion pieces

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Our advice, based on how this fits in practice: expect a regular, unisex fit that runs true to size
• The cut leaves room across the shoulders for a jumper or shirt underneath
• Side slits mean the fit doesn't feel restrictive when reaching or bending
• Size up only if you're planning to layer something bulky underneath most days

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold with a mild detergent made for down or delicates
• Don't wring the fabric; press out water gently instead
• Air dry flat, shaking the vest occasionally to restore loft
• Store in the supplied bag rather than compressed for extended periods

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

1. What makes this different from the basic V-Neck Down Vest? This Military version adds a two-way zip, side slits for movement, and patch pockets, on top of the same 800FP down insulation.
2. Can I wear this cycling or on active days? The side slits and two-way zip make it more comfortable for movement than a standard quilted vest, so it suits an active day out.
3. How do I clean the pockets area without damaging the down? Treat the whole vest the same way, hand wash cold and avoid spot-cleaning with harsh products that could affect the surrounding fabric.
4. Will it keep me warm on its own in winter? It's most effective as a mid-layer under a coat in genuinely cold weather, and works well alone in milder conditions.
5. Is it durable enough for daily wear? Yes, the shell fabric is chosen for durability alongside softness, so it holds up to regular use.
6. Does it pack down small? Yes, it comes with its own storage bag for easy packing.
