Fill power measures the loft or fluffiness of down. A 700 rating indicates higher quality down that traps more air, providing superior warmth for its weight.
The gilet has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which is designed for light showers. It is not waterproof and should be covered by a shell in heavy rain.
Store it hanging or loosely packed in a dry area. Avoid keeping it compressed for extended periods to preserve the down's insulating loft.
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with cold water and a specialized down detergent to avoid damaging the insulation.
The gilet is designed to be a versatile layer. While it should accommodate most base and mid-layers, you may want to size up if you prefer a looser fit over bulky knitwear.
This is common with down products; do not pull the feather out. Instead, gently pull it back in from the inside of the garment and massage the fabric to close the opening.
Ensure you tumble dry the gilet with clean dryer balls to redistribute the down and restore loft.
This gilet is designed for a standard fit consistent with UK dress size 10. To maintain the effectiveness of the down insulation, store the garment in a cool, dry place rather than compressing it tightly for long periods. When washing, use a down-specific detergent and a gentle cycle. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff the down and restore its loft after washing. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach as these can strip the DWR finish and damage the down clusters.
