FAQs
Is the Shires Gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear this over a thick jumper?
Yes, the stretch side panels provide enough flexibility to fit comfortably over base layers, though it is designed for a streamlined, snug fit.
How do I determine my size?
The gilet follows standard apparel sizing; consult the size guide to match your measurements, keeping in mind the fitted nature of the stretch side panels.
What material is the outer shell made of?
The exterior is constructed from durable, high-quality nylon that provides both a wind-resistant and water-resistant barrier.
Can I machine wash the gilet?
Yes, but use a cool, gentle cycle and avoid harsh chemicals to ensure the longevity of the insulation and water-resistant coating.
Does the collar provide enough warmth for winter?
The high padded collar is excellent for blocking wind and adding warmth, but for deep winter, we recommend pairing it with a scarf and a heavier outer layer.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any debris from the zip track.
Water-resistance seems to be fading
Re-apply a garment-safe water-repellent spray designed for synthetic fabrics after washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be worn as a mid-layer or a standalone outer layer in milder weather. For maximum warmth, pair it with a thermal base layer or a light fleece. When cleaning your gilet, follow the care label instructions; typically, this involves a gentle machine wash at a low temperature to preserve the nylon shell and the integrity of the insulation. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant coating. Always hang to dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the quilted material.
