FAQs
What is the main material of the Moncler Karakai Gilet?
The gilet's exterior is made of 100% polyester, with sherpa (73% polyester, 27% acrylic) for the textured panels. The insulation is 90% down and 10% goose feathers.
How should I wash this gilet?
It is recommended to hand wash the gilet in cold water using a mild detergent suitable for down. Do not use bleach or dry clean.
Can I put the gilet in the washing machine?
The care instructions specify hand washing only to preserve the down insulation and fabric integrity.
What type of pockets does it have?
The gilet features four front pockets: two upper pockets with buttoned flaps and two lower pockets with zippers.
Is the gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The gilet provides lightweight warmth due to its down filling, making it suitable for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering would be recommended.
What does 'slightly square cut' mean?
This refers to the silhouette of the gilet, which has a straighter, less tapered fit around the waist and hem, offering a modern, relaxed look.
How do I care for the sherpa material?
After washing and drying, you can gently brush the sherpa material with a soft brush to help maintain its texture. Avoid high heat during drying.
Troubleshooting
Down clumping after washing
Place the gilet in a dryer on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. The balls will help break up the clumps and restore the loft of the down.
Sherpa material becoming matted
Gently brush the sherpa with a soft-bristled brush after drying. Avoid excessive heat which can damage the fibers.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the teeth with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.
