FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?

Can I wear this under a winter coat?

Does the zip open from both the top and bottom?
Yes, the gilet features a full-length two-way metal zip for adjustable ventilation.
How should I wash my gilet?
Use a gentle machine wash on a cool setting and air dry to maintain the integrity of the quilted fabric.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

What is the primary material?
The gilet is constructed from lightweight, durable synthetic materials chosen for warmth and flexibility.
Troubleshooting

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires Gilet lasts, follow these guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to protect the quilting. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can compromise the synthetic insulation and the metal zip components.
- Storage: Hang the gilet when not in use to maintain its shape. Avoid folding it tightly for extended periods to prevent creasing.
- Compatibility: This garment is designed to be worn over base layers (like thermal shirts) and comfortably sits under larger waterproof or outer shells.
