Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Shires Gilet is an ideal choice for active women who need a versatile, lightweight mid-layer for countryside pursuits, gardening, or casual outdoor activities. It provides reliable insulation and core warmth without the bulk of a heavy jacket, thanks to its chevron quilted construction and flexible side panels; however, users should note that as a lightweight layer, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions rather than extreme winter temperatures.

FAQs
Is the Jack Pyke Shires Gilet machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, low-temperature cycle, but it is best to avoid tumble drying to protect the material structure.
Does this gilet provide protection in heavy rain?
It is water-resistant, which is sufficient for light showers or dew, but it is not a fully waterproof garment for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this under a larger winter coat?
Absolutely. The slim, chevron-quilted profile is specifically designed for effective layering without adding excessive bulk.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The secure zipped pockets are designed for essentials like keys, small wallets, or a standard-sized smartphone.
What is the primary material used?
The gilet features a durable synthetic construction with stretch fabric side panels for enhanced movement.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during operation
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a candle or graphite pencil along the zip teeth to lubricate them.
Water-resistance seems less effective
Over time, outer coatings wear off; consider applying a spray-on technical garment reproofer specifically designed for synthetic quilted items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for simple, everyday use—simply wear it as a base layer under a waterproof jacket or over a sweater for added core warmth.
Care Instructions:
- Always check the internal garment label before cleaning.
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature to preserve the quilted insulation.
- Avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can degrade the water-resistant finish.
- Air dry flat whenever possible to keep the padding evenly distributed.
- If the gilet gets caught in heavy rain, shake off excess water and hang it in a well-ventilated area to dry completely.
