FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is showerproof, meaning it protects against light rain and drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.

Can I wear this in deep winter?

It serves best as a layering piece under a heavier coat for deep winter or as a standalone piece during mild, transitional days.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The design features zipped hand pockets on the exterior; it does not include internal stash pockets.

What is the primary material?

The gilet is crafted from durable nylon, providing a lightweight feel with decent wind resistance.

How should I choose my size?

The gilet is sized for a regular fit; if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may want to consider your usual size or one size up for more room.

Can I tumble dry the gilet?

It is generally recommended to air dry to maintain the integrity of the padding and the showerproof coating.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through during light rain

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical garment re-proofer to restore water resistance.

Padding feels lumpy after washing

Ensure you air dry the item and gently shake or pat it once dry to redistribute the padding evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This gilet is designed for simple, immediate use. To maintain the showerproof integrity and the quality of the nylon shell, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature to protect the padding.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  3. Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape and prevent the padding from shifting.
  4. Compatibility: It works exceptionally well over long-sleeve base layers, flannel shirts, or light knitwear for optimal comfort.
