Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell for extreme weather or over a long-sleeve base layer for cool, dry days.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the DWR (durable water repellent) finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric integrity. If using a dryer, use a low-heat setting.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent finish stops beading, reapply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore performance.
