Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts for years, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Integration: When attaching to an outer jacket, align the internal zips carefully to avoid damaging the teeth. Test the closure mechanism gently before full engagement.
- Cleaning: Always refer to the internal care label. Typically, water-resistant fabrics should be washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent treatment.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the quilted structure. Avoid crushing the item under heavy garments in your closet.
