FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is showerproof and water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain well but is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle.
What is the best way to layer this?
The gilet works best over knitwear, long-sleeved shirts, or light hoodies.
Does it have a hood?
No, this model does not feature a hood.
Is the material stretchy?
The gilet is made from polyester and has a structured fit rather than a stretch-fabric construction.
Troubleshooting
Water is starting to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.
The water-repellent treatment has worn off; wash the garment to remove oils and apply a standard DWR re-proofer spray.
Material feels slightly stiff after washing.
Ensure all detergent is rinsed out completely and avoid using heavy fabric softeners which leave residue on synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The gilet requires no assembly and is ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions: machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-repellent finish. For drying, it is best to air dry the garment; if the water-repellent performance fades over time, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outerwear to restore protection.
