FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
Does it contain real down?
No, the Marizion Gilet uses down-free synthetic insulation, which is warmer when damp and more sustainable.
Can I wear this under a jacket?
Yes, its low-bulk design makes it perfect for layering under a shell or a heavier winter coat.
How should I clean it?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the water-repellent finish.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, the gilet is designed to follow standard sizing, but check the size guide if you plan on layering heavy clothing underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the surface
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off; consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for synthetic fabrics.
Synthetic insulation feels clumped after washing
Gently shake the gilet while drying or use a low-heat tumble dry with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the insulation.

- Down-free construction is easy to care for and sustainable
- Stretch binding improves fit and traps heat effectively

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Marizion Gilet in optimal condition, always check the garment’s inner care label before laundering. Typically, it should be machine washed on a cool setting with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish. To maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation, air dry the garment whenever possible rather than tumble drying at high heat. Regarding compatibility, this gilet is a 'true-to-size' fit; however, if you plan on wearing very thick sweaters underneath, you may consider if your layering requirements allow for standard movement. Ensure the stretch binding around the armholes and hem remains free of debris to maintain the seal against the elements.
