The Mac In A Sac Alpine Down Gilet is a high-performance, lightweight layering piece designed for outdoor enthusiasts and urban commuters who need core warmth without restricted arm movement. Utilizing 600 fill power R.D.S. certified duck down, it offers an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal companion for hiking, camping, or transitional weather; however, users should note that while the outer shell is water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof and is best used as a mid-layer during heavy precipitation.

This is common with high-fill power down. Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls for 15-20 minutes to restore the loft and expand the down clusters.
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, always store it hanging up or in a loose storage bag rather than compressed in its pack sack for extended periods. When cleaning, use a specialized down wash product to avoid stripping the natural oils from the feathers. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at low temperatures. It is highly recommended to tumble dry with a few tennis balls to redistribute the down clusters and restore loft. The gilet is highly compatible with a wide range of weather-resistant outer shells, fitting snugly underneath for added insulation in extreme cold.
