FAQs
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the gilet features a convenient zip-off hood that can be detached for a cleaner look or attached for extra coverage.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While the nylon shell offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is best suited for light conditions, as heavy rain may soak the down filling.
What is the best way to store the gilet?
Store it hanging in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the shape and loft of the insulation.
Is this vest suitable for layering?
Absolutely, the sleeveless design is specifically intended for layering over sweaters, shirts, or under heavier coats.
How should I wash the down filling?
Always use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low with dryer balls to prevent the down from clumping.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through the fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, which can leave a hole.
Garment looks flat after washing
Ensure you tumble dry the gilet with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff up the down, or gently shake and manually distribute the down after drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts for seasons to come, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Consult the care label inside the garment. Typically, down items should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for down garments.
- Drying: Use a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with dryer balls to help redistribute the down filling and prevent clumping.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the garment for long periods to maintain its loft.
