Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, proper care is essential. Because it uses natural down insulation, you must never machine wash or tumble dry the garment. Always follow the 'Professional Dry Clean Only' label to preserve the water-repellent coating and the loft of the down feathers. In terms of compatibility, this gilet works best with long-sleeve base layers or thermal sweaters. When layering, ensure the outer jacket is spacious enough to accommodate the vest without compressing the down fill, as compression reduces thermal efficiency.
