Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for simple, everyday maintenance. To maintain the water-repellent finish, ensure you follow the care label instructions, typically involving a cool machine wash with non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impair the water-repellent properties of the synthetic polyester fibers. Due to the stretch binding, hang the garment to dry rather than using high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the elasticity. The gilet is highly compatible with fleece mid-layers or lightweight waterproof shells, making it a modular addition to any outdoor kit.
