FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The Eco-Chrome nylon offers protection against wind and light conditions, but it is not a technical waterproof garment and should not be worn in heavy rain.
How do I wash the gilet safely?
Machine wash on a cold cycle at 30°C. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to protect the garment-dyed finish.
Can I wear this over a bulky sweater?
Yes, the gilet is designed for versatile layering; however, sizing is standard, so consider your preferred fit when wearing thicker mid-layers.
What is the ratio of down to feathers?
This garment is insulated with a blend of 90% down and 10% feather to ensure warmth and loft.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is concealed within the collar rather than being detachable, allowing for a cleaner silhouette when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the gilet from the inside and massage the area to close the fabric gap.
Gilet losing its shape or 'loft'
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down fill and restore volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, please observe the following care guidelines. The garment features specialized garment-dyed fabric, meaning it should be machine washed cold at 30°C. Avoid the use of aggressive detergents or bleach, which may alter the shade of the nylon. When drying, it is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to help fluff the down fill and prevent clumping. For storage, hang the gilet in a well-ventilated area to allow the down to expand naturally. Ensure the garment is completely dry before placing it into long-term storage to prevent odors or moisture damage to the down feathers.
