Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the shape of the stretch bindings. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
- Reproofing: After several washes, consider using a spray-on water-repellent treatment to restore the fabric's weather resistance.
- Compatibility: This item is designed to be worn over base-layer thermal shirts or thin sweaters. It fits comfortably under a heavier waterproof shell if extreme weather protection is required.
