How should I wash the gilet?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to smooth its movement.
Gilet losing water repellency
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for performance fabrics. Follow the product's instructions for application, usually involving washing and heat curing.
Fabric feels less flexible
Ensure the garment is clean and free from heavy detergent residue. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the fabric's performance properties. Check care label for specific washing instructions.
