It is water-resistant, meaning it is treated with a DWR coating to bead light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy rain.
It uses high-quality microfiber insulation, which acts as a synthetic, animal-friendly alternative to down, offering excellent heat retention.
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners to ensure the water-resistant coating stays effective.
While it is not rated as windproof, the padded construction and dense fabric weave provide effective protection against wind chill.
Store it hanging up in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a small bag for extended periods to maintain the loft of the insulation.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical garment re-proofer spray to restore water repellency.
Tumble dry the garment on a low heat setting, ideally with clean tennis balls in the dryer, to help redistribute and fluff the microfiber filling.
This gilet is designed for simple, immediate use right out of the package. It is highly compatible with a variety of wardrobe staples, fitting perfectly over light sweaters, hoodies, or long-sleeve shirts. To maintain the performance of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a specialized detergent designed for technical outerwear. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish from the fibers. Air drying or tumble drying on a very low heat setting is recommended to preserve the loft of the microfiber insulation. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature settings before laundering.
