Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, always consult the internal care label before washing. Generally, the nylon material should be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle to maintain the integrity of the chevron quilting. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach. When drying, it is recommended to air dry flat or on a hanger in a ventilated area, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which may damage the synthetic fill. For compatibility, this gilet pairs best with base layers such as fleeces or long-sleeve shirts and can be easily layered under heavier jackets for added insulation.
