Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Shires Gilet is an essential mid-layer designed for women who need reliable warmth and mobility during outdoor pursuits like gardening, walking, or general daily wear. It features a lightweight, chevron-quilted nylon construction that provides efficient insulation without the bulk of a heavy jacket. While its streamlined, fitted design is highly practical for layering under larger coats or over base layers, users should note that the snug cut may require sizing up if you prefer a looser fit for heavy-weight sweaters.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed as a 'ready-to-wear' layering piece. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cool machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a hanger away from direct heat sources or intense sunlight to maintain the integrity of the quilting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the gilet under heavy items for long periods to preserve the loft of the insulation.
- Layering: Wear over base layers like thin fleece or long-sleeve shirts. It is specifically shaped to sit comfortably underneath larger outer jackets.
