Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for easy wear right out of the packaging. To ensure its longevity and performance, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during heavy rain, or as a standalone outer layer in fair, cool weather.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to protect the synthetic insulation. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
- Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Because it is highly compressible, avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long durations to maintain the loft of the insulation.
