FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The nylon construction offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not intended to function as a waterproof rain garment.
How should I store this for the summer?
Store it on a sturdy hanger in a breathable garment bag. Avoid airtight vacuum bags as they can damage the loft of the down filling.
Does the sizing run large or small?
The gilet follows a standard regular fit; it is recommended to purchase your usual size for comfortable layering.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Follow the specific care tag instructions. Generally, down items can be tumbled on low with dryer balls to restore loft, but the flocked finish may be sensitive to high heat.
What is the best way to clean the flocked exterior?
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently blot away marks. Do not scrub harshly as this may wear away the flocking.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through the fabric
Gently pull the feather back from the inside if possible or use a lint roller. Avoid pulling feathers out through the exterior fabric.
The velvety texture looks dusty or flattened
Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently lift the nap of the flocked nylon material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is ready to wear immediately. To maintain its performance, always check the internal care label. Given the unique flocked nylon construction, it is recommended to spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, which could damage the texture. If deep cleaning is necessary, opt for professional dry cleaning or a specialized down garment service. When storing, keep the gilet hanging in a well-ventilated area to allow the down to maintain its loft; avoid compressing it in tight spaces for extended periods.
