Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent finish and the integrity of the insulation, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally on a hanger to keep the padding evenly distributed. Avoid tumble drying on high heat to prevent damage to the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before placing it in a closet to prevent odors.
- Compatibility: The slim-fit design makes it ideal for wearing under a larger waterproof shell if extra protection is needed, or over mid-layers like fleece jackets.
