FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It features Omni-Shield technology, which makes it water-repellent and stain-resistant, but it is not seam-sealed waterproof. It will protect you from light rain and splashes, but not heavy downpours.
How do I pack the gilet?
The gilet is designed to pack down into one of its own hand pockets. Simply turn the pocket inside out and fold the garment into it.
Can I wear this under a larger jacket?
Yes, because the insulation is lightweight and low-profile, it serves as an excellent layering piece under larger rain shells or winter coats.
What is the material composition?
The gilet is made from polyester, with 85% recycled polyester used in the insulation.
Does this have an adjustable hem?
No, the hem is fixed, but the drop-tail design ensures extra coverage in the back.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric surface
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Follow care instructions to clean the garment and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outdoor apparel.
Insulation feels flat after washing
Tumble dry the gilet on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the insulation and regain its loft.

- Environmentally friendly with 85% recycled insulation
- Drop tail design offers extra protection and comfort
- Lightweight feel makes it perfect for versatile layering

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a standard gilet, there is no complex setup required. Simply wear it over a long-sleeved shirt or light fleece for a comfortable fit. To maintain the Omni-Shield repellency, machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-resistant coating over time. Tumble dry on a low setting, ideally with dryer balls to help fluff the synthetic insulation back to its original loft, and remove promptly when dry.
