Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm or flat after washing.
This is likely due to the down clumping. Tumble dry the gilet on low heat with a few clean dryer balls (like tennis balls) to help break up clumps and redistribute the down evenly, restoring its loft and warmth.
Water repellency seems reduced over time.
Ensure the gilet is clean; dirt and oils can impede the water-repellent finish. If performance continues to decline, Info needed: Check product manual for guidance on re-treating water repellency, or consult a professional cleaner specializing in down garments.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
First, check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently run a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help smooth its movement.
Unpleasant odor after washing.
Ensure the gilet is completely dry, which may require multiple drying cycles with dryer balls. Any residual moisture can cause odors. Air it out in a well-ventilated area.
