No, it features a water-repellent finish meant for light showers and wind resistance, but it is not seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
The garment is manufactured using 97% recycled fibers, helping to reduce waste while maintaining the durability and performance of traditional polyester.
Yes, the gilet is designed for layering. Depending on your size, it should accommodate a base layer or a light sweater comfortably.
Store in a cool, dry place. Hanging it on a wide-shouldered hanger will help maintain its shape over long periods of non-use.
Yes, this model is designed with a neutral, unisex fit suitable for a wide range of body types.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and oils, then apply a specialized DWR reactivation spray.
Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft toothbrush. Applying a tiny amount of candle wax or dry lubricant can help smooth the track.
Because this is a softshell gilet, it is intended to be used as a mid-layer or a light outer layer. To maintain the effectiveness of the H2OShield and DWR finish, follow these care instructions: machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and diminish the water-repellent performance. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the elastane integrity. If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface after extensive use, consider applying a garment-safe DWR re-proofer spray.
