Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable garment, this gilet requires no setup. It is designed to fit over standard base layers and sweaters. For care, adhere to the manufacturer's label instructions, which typically involve a gentle machine wash cycle to maintain the integrity of the quilted stitching. Because of the nylon material, avoid using harsh chemicals or high-heat tumble drying, which could compromise the fabric or the zip mechanisms. Hang the gilet on a wide-shouldered hanger when storing to help it retain its shape over time.
