Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Shires Gilet is designed for the active outdoor enthusiast who needs reliable core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Ideal for countryside walks, gardening, or casual daily wear, this piece provides an excellent balance of insulation and mobility thanks to its chevron quilting and side-stretch panels. While it excels as a versatile mid-layer, users should note that its fitted design is optimized for a streamlined silhouette, which may feel snug if worn over thick, chunky sweaters.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The Jack Pyke Shires Gilet is made from nylon and provides some resistance to light wind and mist, but it is not a waterproof garment.
Can I wear this under a rain jacket?
Yes, its low-profile, quilted design makes it an ideal mid-layer to wear under a waterproof shell.
What is the best way to clean the Gilet?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and allow to air dry to maintain the loft of the insulation.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the secure zipped pockets are designed to hold standard-sized smartphones and small personal items securely.
Does the collar provide enough warmth?
Yes, the high padded collar is specifically designed to provide additional warmth and protection for the neck area.
Is the fit true to size?
It is a fitted design; if you plan to wear it over thicker sweaters, you may want to size up for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Garment feels too tight around the torso
The Shires Gilet is designed for a slim fit. If you prefer more room for layers, consider sizing up.
Stitching pulling after heavy use
Avoid overstuffing pockets with heavy objects, as this puts excess stress on the quilted seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Fit: The Gilet is designed to be worn over standard clothing. Because it is a fitted garment, verify your size using the manufacturer's size chart to ensure the shoulder and chest width meet your needs.
Compatibility: This gilet is highly compatible with other Jack Pyke layering products, such as base layers and light fleece sweaters. It works best as an intermediate layer under a heavy coat or as a primary outer layer on dry, cool days.
Care Instructions: To maintain the longevity of the nylon material and the integrity of the quilting, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using harsh bleaches or high-heat drying, as these can compromise the synthetic insulation and the metal zipper components. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape of the garment.
