Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your EA7 Gilet, unpack it from its dust bag. The gilet is designed to be fully packable, so if it appears compressed, simply shake it gently to help the `goose down padding` regain its loft. Allow it to air out for a short period before its first wear.
Compatibility
This gilet is an excellent layering piece for adult males. Wear it over a `long-sleeve shirt`, `hoodie`, or `sweatshirt` for milder conditions. For colder weather, it fits comfortably as a `mid-layer` under a `winter coat` or `waterproof shell`. Its versatile design complements various athletic and casual outfits.
Care
To maintain the quality and longevity of your gilet, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a `gentle cycle` with a mild, `down-specific detergent`. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing. `Info needed: Specific washing temperature and cycle for polyester and goose down.`
- Drying: `Tumble dry low` with `2-3 clean tennis balls` or specific `down drying balls`. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore the gilet's loft. It may take several cycles to fully dry. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Avoid direct high heat.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Storage: When not in use, you can store the gilet in its provided `dust bag`. Ensure it is completely dry before packing to prevent mildew.
