This vest is super easy to use. Just slip it on over your clothes when you need extra warmth or protection from the wind and water. For daily use, it can be worn casually or layered under a heavier coat in extremely cold weather. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash with cold water and a mild detergent will do. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they might damage the insulation. After washing, tumble dry on low heat. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use, and it'll stay in great shape for a long time.
