FAQs
Is this gilet machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle, but always check the care label on the garment for specific instructions.
Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
Yes, the regular fit is specifically designed to accommodate layering over hoodies, sweatshirts, or knitwear.
Is the gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain effectively but is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged exposure.
Does it have an inside pocket?
This model features two vertical zipped outer pockets for secure storage.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, it follows a standard regular fit, consistent with most adult male sizing.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a small amount of clear candle wax or pencil graphite on the teeth to lubricate them.
Water-repellent surface is not beading water
The protective finish can wear off over time; consider applying a standard DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic nylon outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be worn immediately as an outer layer. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent nylon, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cold wash cycle to protect the quilting.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can compromise the synthetic wadding.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger to ensure the shape of the shoulders and neckline is preserved over time.
- Compatibility: It fits true to size for a regular silhouette, allowing for comfortable layering over most standard knitwear or heavy sweatshirts.
