FAQs
Is this gilet fully waterproof?
No, the gilet is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain or splashes. It is not designed to withstand heavy or prolonged rainfall.
What is the best way to store the gilet?
Store the gilet in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can damage the down insulation. Hanging it loosely is ideal.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?
This gilet is lightweight and best suited for transitional seasons like spring and autumn. For very cold winter weather, it can be used as a layering piece under a warmer, heavier coat.
How do I ensure the down doesn't leak through the fabric?
The gilet is constructed with tightly woven fabrics designed to minimize down leakage. Proper washing and care will help maintain the fabric's integrity.
What does the Stone Island badge signify?
The Stone Island compass badge is an iconic symbol of the brand, representing its commitment to research, experimentation, and unique design in sportswear.
What sizes are available for this model?
This specific listing is for size 6. Other sizes may be available; please refer to the product's sibling information or other listings for alternative sizes.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels flat or clumpy after washing
Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Re-tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up clumps and restore loft to the down.
Water resistance seems reduced
The water-resistant treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a specialized water-repellent treatment suitable for down garments and technical fabrics, following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using wax or oily products.
Minor stains on the fabric
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing. For larger stains, follow the recommended washing instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the zipper is fully functional before use.
Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and performance of the down filling and water-resistant fabric, please follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help re-fluff the down and prevent clumping. Ensure the garment is completely dry before removing from the dryer.
- Ironing: Do not iron. Any wrinkles will typically fall out after washing and drying.
- Dry Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is not recommended as it can strip natural oils from the down.
