No, the gilet features a water-repellent outer finish which is suitable for light rain or drizzle, but it is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours. It is best used as an insulating layer or for dry, cool conditions.
R.D.S. stands for Responsible Down Standard. It certifies that the down used in the gilet comes from animals that have been treated ethically, with no force-feeding or live-plucking.
The best method is to tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The balls help to break up any clumps of down and restore its loft and insulating power. Ensure it is completely dry.
Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in cool, dry conditions. For added protection against wind or rain, it also serves excellently as a mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof jacket.
The gilet uses 80g of 600 fill power duck down.
The water-repellent finish will naturally wear off over time. To restore it, you can use a specific re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.
A close body fit means the gilet is designed to be worn snugly against the body for maximum thermal efficiency and a streamlined look. It is true to size, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider ordering a size up.
Ensure the gilet is layered appropriately for the temperature. Check that the down has not become compacted or wet, which reduces its insulating properties. Ensure the front zip is fully closed.
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for down garments to restore its performance.
This can occasionally happen with down products. If a small amount of down appears, do not pull it. Gently pull the fabric away from the feather and try to tuck it back in. If the issue is persistent or widespread, contact customer support.
This is likely due to the down clumping. Ensure the gilet is completely dry and tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls to help break up the clumps and restore the loft of the down.
Setup: The gilet requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This gilet is designed for women and fits true to size for a close body fit. It can be layered effectively with other outdoor apparel, including waterproof jackets.
