Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the gilet features a detachable hood that can be easily removed when not needed.
What material is the padding made of?
The gilet uses soft microfiber padding to provide warmth and insulation.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle.
Are the pockets zippered?
The gilet includes two practical side pockets for storage and warmth.
Is this suitable for winter sports?
It serves as a great mid-layer for winter activities, but should be worn under a waterproof outer shell if exposed to harsh conditions.
Troubleshooting
Padding appears flattened or clumped after washing
Tumble dry the garment on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff the microfiber fill.
Water-resistant coating is no longer beading water
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating; use a technical garment wash-in re-proofer according to product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
