FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made of nylon and is not designed as a waterproof outer layer. It will handle light drizzle but should be layered under a waterproof shell in heavy rain.
How should I choose the right size?
The Shires Gilet features a flattering, snug fit with stretch panels. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may want to consider your standard size or check our sizing chart for specific chest measurements.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry the garment to protect the integrity of the quilted padding and nylon fabric.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the secure zipped pockets are designed to be deep enough to hold most standard-sized smartphones safely.
Is this gilet suitable for winter?
It is best used as a mid-layer in winter. While it provides good core warmth, it is most effective when combined with a heavier outer jacket in freezing temperatures.
What is the primary material?
The primary outer shell is constructed from durable nylon, chosen for its lightweight properties and ability to resist wear.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to restore smoothness.
Static buildup on nylon surface
Use a light anti-static spray or run a damp cloth over the surface to neutralize electricity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, always check the garment label for specific laundering instructions. Generally, the nylon outer and padding should be machine-washed on a gentle, cool cycle to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers. Do not bleach or tumble dry at high temperatures, as this can degrade the quilt structure. For compatibility, this gilet pairs well with lightweight fleece sweaters, long-sleeved base layers, or as an under-layer for heavy-duty rain jackets. When not in use, hang the gilet on a sturdy coat hanger to help it retain its shape.
