Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the fleece, machine wash the gilet on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can flatten the high-pile Sherpa fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Always air dry the garment naturally; do not tumble dry, as the high heat can damage the integrity of the fleece and potentially shrink the fabric. The gilet is highly compatible as a layering piece under larger waterproof jackets for added warmth in harsher conditions.
