Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be a versatile layering piece. For best results, wear it over breathable mid-layers. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-resistant coating, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the synthetic padding.
- Re-treating: If you notice that water no longer beads on the surface after several washes, apply a specialized DWR re-proofer spray to restore its water-resistant properties.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, ensuring it is completely dry before putting it away in a closet.
