FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the fleece material is designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I iron the faux leather trims?
No, do not iron the faux leather trims as they are sensitive to high heat and can melt or deform.
Does the sizing run true to fit?
The garment follows standard sizing conventions, but as it is designed for layering, consider your preference for a loose or snug fit when choosing your size.
How should I store the gilet?
Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to help it maintain its shape and prevent unnecessary creasing.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The popper pockets are designed for standard everyday carry items like keys or wallets; large smartphones may fit snugly but may not be fully secured by the popper closure.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric fibers are caught in the teeth and gently rub the zip teeth with a graphite pencil to lubricate.
Pilling on fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently remove small balls of fiber that may accumulate over time with frequent wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable garment, no setup is required. To maintain the integrity of your gilet, turn it inside out before washing to protect the engraved hardware.

Hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric color and texture.
