Tips

For maximum warmth in freezing temperatures, layer this vest over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a waterproof shell. The Omni-Heat™ lining works best when it's close to your body, so avoid wearing overly thick mid-layers underneath. To maintain the water-resistant finish, wash with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low to preserve the insulation loft.
