Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods, as this can degrade the loft of the down insulation. When cleaning, check the interior care label for specific instructions, but generally, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent formulated for down. Adding clean tennis balls to the dryer on a low-heat setting helps redistribute the down and restore the vest's "puff" after washing. The gilet is highly compatible with jumpers, hoodies, or long-sleeve base layers, making it a perfect component of a modular winter clothing system.
