FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand mild showers thanks to its DWR treatment, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain.
How do I wash this item?
Use a gentle cycle with a dedicated down detergent. Ensure it is dried thoroughly on low heat with dryer balls to restore the fluffiness of the down.
Can I wear this under a coat?
Yes, its lightweight, regular fit is specifically designed to be thin enough for comfortable layering under heavier outerwear.
What is the fill capacity?
This gilet features a 650 fill capacity, which offers a great balance of insulation and weight.
What materials are used?
The garment is constructed from recycled polyester shell and lining, filled with high-quality down and feathers.
Does it have internal pockets?
The design features secure side zip pockets for exterior storage; please check the garment interior for any additional stash pockets.
Troubleshooting
Feathers poking through the fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell.
Down feels clumped after washing
Tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore the 650 fill loft.
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a garment-safe water-repellent spray to restore the water-resistant properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for a straightforward, regular fit. To maintain the loft of the 650 fill down, avoid compressing the garment for long periods when storing. For care, always check the internal garment tag; generally, down products require gentle washing with specific down-safe detergents to ensure the feathers do not clump. Use a low-heat tumble dry cycle with tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down filling and restore volume after washing. The DWR finish may require occasional reactivation with a spray-on treatment if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
