Troubleshooting

Gilet not providing enough warmth

This gilet is designed for light to moderate warmth and layering. For colder temperatures, consider wearing it over a warmer base layer or under a heavier coat.

Water resistance seems reduced

Over time, the water-resistant finish may diminish. Consider using a specialized water-repellent spray designed for nylon outerwear to restore its performance. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help it glide smoothly.

Puffiness appears reduced after washing

Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. The balls will help to break up any clumps in the filling and restore the loft and puffiness of the gilet.
