Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet lasts, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath for maximum thermal efficiency.
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the insulation.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to prevent the insulation from becoming compressed over long periods of non-use.
