Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Canada Goose Freestyle Gilet retains its insulating loft and water-resistant properties, proper maintenance is essential:
- Cleaning: This garment must be professionally dry cleaned. Do not attempt to machine wash, as traditional detergents and agitation can strip the down of its natural oils and damage the outer water-repellent coating.
- Storage: Hang the gilet in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing it under heavy items for long periods, as this can crush the down feathers and reduce thermal efficiency over time.
- Layering: The gilet is designed to fit over standard base layers and sweaters. If you plan to wear it under another coat, ensure your outer shell has enough volume to accommodate the loft of the down without compressing it, as compression reduces warmth.
