Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Castore Padded Gilet, follow these care guidelines. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings, but generally, a cold machine wash with similar colors is recommended. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, which can compromise the synthetic insulation. Hang dry whenever possible to maintain the loft of the padding. In terms of compatibility, this gilet fits well over standard mid-layers but may feel snug if worn over heavy, bulky winter jackets.
