Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nelson Gilet, proper maintenance is essential. Because the garment uses down fabric, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent specifically formulated for down to maintain the "loft" or fluffiness of the insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-repellent coating. When drying, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters effectively. For daily storage, hang the gilet in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation. The slim-fit sizing is designed to align with standard athletic apparel; if you prefer a looser fit for layering over heavy sweatshirts, consider sizing up.
