FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it will protect you from light rain and mist, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
Yes, the cut is designed for versatile layering, though you should ensure you choose a size that comfortably accommodates your choice of under-layer.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash cold on a delicate setting and always hang dry. Do not tumble dry or iron the heat-sealed logo.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure maximum protection against the elements.
What material is used?
The gilet is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems to be fading
The protective coating may need a wash to remove surface dirt, or you may need to apply a technical fabric re-proofer spray.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Clean the zipper tracks of any trapped debris or fabric bits and lightly apply a graphite lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Castore gilet in top condition, machine wash it on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating. Hang dry the garment to maintain the integrity of the padding. Because this piece is designed for layering, it works best when paired with base layers that have moisture-wicking properties to ensure the interior stays dry and comfortable during active use.
