Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; simply choose the size that fits your chest and waist measurements comfortably over your chosen base or mid-layer. Because it is a sleeveless design, it integrates perfectly with long-sleeved hiking shirts or base layers. To maintain the effectiveness of the anti-insect and UPF coatings, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should wash the gilet in cool water with a mild detergent, avoid using strong bleaching agents, and hang it to dry in the shade. Excessive heat from tumble drying or ironing can potentially degrade the protective fabric technologies.
