FAQs

Is the goggle hood removable?

No, the goggle hood is integrated into the design of the garment for a seamless look and consistent structural integrity.

Can this gilet be worn under a raincoat?

Yes, because the D.d. Shell Gilet is lightweight and relatively thin, it functions perfectly as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof shell.

What is the primary material?

The exterior shell is constructed from durable, windproof nylon.

Is the fit true to size?

The gilet follows a regular fit. If you prefer a tighter, more athletic look, you may want to consider your standard sizing, but it is true to general adult sizing conventions.

Does it offer protection against heavy rain?

While the nylon shell is windproof and can handle light mist, it is not a technical waterproof garment and should not be used as a primary raincoat.

Are the lenses in the hood glass or plastic?

The lenses are made from high-quality, lightweight optical-grade materials designed for safety and style, not glass.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers leaking through the fabric

Small amounts of shedding are normal with direct down injection. Gently pull the feather back inside from the opposite side rather than pulling it out.

Goggle lenses appear foggy

This is often due to temperature differences. Ensure the hood is adjusted properly to allow for slight airflow, or wipe the lenses with an anti-fog cloth.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. You may apply a tiny amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth to lubricate the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your gilet remains in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the down insulation and specialized nylon shell, it is recommended to professionally dry clean or follow the care label instructions strictly for home washing to avoid damaging the loft of the down.
  2. Storage: Hang the garment on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulders. Avoid compressing the gilet under heavy items in your closet.
  3. Lens Care: Gently wipe the goggle lenses with a microfiber cloth to prevent smudges or surface scratches. Avoid using abrasive soaps or paper towels.
  4. Layering: This gilet is designed to fit over standard base layers and sweaters. If pairing with heavy knitwear, ensure the size remains comfortable in the armholes.
