The vest is in itself class, keeps you warm, fits and looks good. However, they were not allowed to wash. After the first wash, according to wash instructions I could not believe my eyes as I put on the vest again. The material is in the chambers for thermal insulation and filled the entire chamber before washing was now become a lump in each chamber. Even shaking or massaging the lump in the hope that the material distributed again failed. At the collar as the filling had wandered forward to the amount of almonds and the back of the neck was only the bare material. Too Bad.
