FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The technical fabric offers resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best suited for light rain or dry conditions.
What temperature is this gilet suitable for?
This gilet is designed for cool to mild temperatures. It provides warmth through goose down but is not intended for extreme cold weather on its own.
How do I know if I need to size up?
Customers have noted that this particular style may run small. It is recommended to check the size chart carefully and consider ordering one size larger than you typically would, especially if you plan to layer thicker items underneath.
Can this gilet be worn in the rain?
It can withstand light, short periods of rain due to its technical fabric. For prolonged or heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be recommended.
What is the purpose of the dust bag?
The dust bag is provided to store the gilet when it is fully packed. This keeps it clean, protected, and compact for easy transport.
How often should I wash the gilet?
Wash only when necessary to preserve the down's properties. Follow the specific care instructions provided, using a down-specific detergent and a low-heat tumble dry with dryer balls.
Troubleshooting
Gilet loses its loft after washing
Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Place it in a tumble dryer on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up clumps and restore the down's loft.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
Noticeable seams or cold spots
This can occur if the down has shifted. Gently shake and pat the gilet to redistribute the down filling evenly. Ensure it was dried properly with dryer balls to prevent clumping.
