No, it is water-resistant. It is treated with a DWR finish for light rain, but it is not designed to keep you dry in heavy or sustained rainfall.
Yes, the hood is fully detachable for added versatility and a different look.
The gilet is made from high-quality polyester with synthetic microfiber insulation.
Store it in a cool, dry place. Because it is lightweight, you can fold it compactly, but avoid compressing it under heavy items for long periods.
It serves as an excellent mid-layer during winter but may not be warm enough as a standalone piece in freezing, windy conditions.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider using a dedicated fabric re-proofing spray to restore the water-resistant properties.
Tumble dry the garment on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff up the internal microfiber insulation.
No assembly is required; simply choose the size that fits your layering needs. For care, always check the internal garment label. Typically, this polyester gilet should be machine washed on a gentle cycle. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR coating, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish. Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting with dryer balls to help redistribute the microfiber fill and restore the gilet’s loft.
