How should I clean the gilet?

What does 'diamond quilting' mean?
Diamond quilting refers to the pattern of stitching that creates a series of diamond shapes across the fabric, providing insulation and a distinctive visual texture.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the front flap pockets feature exposed metal poppers, providing a secure closure for your essentials.
Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.
Poppers are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the poppers are correctly aligned before fastening. Avoid forcing them. If a popper feels loose, do not attempt to repair it yourself; consult a professional or retailer.
Gilet loses its shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the specific washing instructions on the care label, including water temperature and spin cycle. Reshape the gilet while damp and allow it to air dry flat.
