Parks Project Women's Vests

Frequently Asked Questions

• What materials and insulation do Parks Project women's vests use?

  Parks Project cropped puffers use a 100% recycled polyester shell and synthetic recycled polyester fill, while reversible styles pair high‑pile fleece on one side with nylon on the other. None of the vests use animal-derived down or wool, and many pieces are built to be abrasion resistant and made with responsible manufacturing practices.
• How should I size and layer the Wild Moose or Forest Forager cropped puffer vests?

  The Wild Moose Cropped Puffer and Forest Forager Cropped Puffer are cut roomy and boxy with a cropped length to make layering over hoodies and sweaters easy. If you plan to wear bulky midlayers underneath, consider sizing up from your usual women's size; otherwise your regular size will keep the intended relaxed silhouette.
• How does the Wild Moose Cropped Puffer Vest compare to the Winter Moose Reversible Vest?

  The Wild Moose Cropped Puffer is a boxy, cropped insulating layer with recycled polyester fill, snap front closure, and two front pockets focused on bold park graphics. The Winter Moose Reversible Vest offers dual functionality with high‑pile fleece on one side and nylon on the other plus a spacious chest pocket, giving you two textures and looks in one piece for slightly different warmth and styling options.
• What activities and conditions are Parks Project women's vests best for?

  These vests are designed for casual layering during park visits, light hikes, and everyday outdoor use where mobility and warmth are desired without heavy technical bulk. They perform best as mid- or outer-layers in cool, dry conditions and are ideal for layering over hoodies or sweaters for quick warmth on trailheads or around camp.
• How should I care for a recycled polyester puffer or reversible fleece vest to keep prints and insulation looking good?

  Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, fasten snaps before washing, and avoid fabric softeners to preserve insulation loft and printed graphics. Tumble dry low or air dry; avoid high heat and professional dry cleaning to protect recycled fill and high‑pile fleece texture.
