FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet is designed primarily for warmth and is made from technical fabric, offering some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof.

What is the best way to store the gilet when not in use?

Store the gilet loosely in its provided dust bag or a breathable garment bag. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state to maintain the down's loft.

Can I wear this gilet in heavy rain?

While it can handle light moisture, it is not intended for heavy rain. For heavy precipitation, consider layering it under a waterproof outer shell.

How often should I wash this gilet?

Wash only when necessary to preserve the down's quality. Spot clean minor stains if possible. Follow the care instructions for machine washing.

What does 'packable' mean in relation to this gilet?

'Packable' means the gilet can be easily compressed and folded into a small size, typically fitting into its own pocket or an included stuff sack, making it ideal for travel.

What kind of padding does this gilet use?

This gilet uses goose down padding for its insulation properties.

What are the washing and drying recommendations?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore the down's loft. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.

Troubleshooting

Gilet loses loft after washing

Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Re-tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to break up down clumps and restore loft.

Down feathers poking through fabric

Gently pull the feather back into the lining from the opposite side. If it persists, contact customer support as it may indicate a seam issue.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.

Gilet feels less warm than expected

Check that the down has fully lofted. If the gilet has been compressed for a long time, allow it to air out. Ensure it is layered correctly with other garments for optimal insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio due to goose down filling.
  • Highly portable and space-saving thanks to its packable design.
  • Versatile for both sports and casual occasions.
  • Durable construction with technical fabric.
  • Easy to wear and adjust with a front zip.

Cons

  • May be too warm for mild weather conditions.
  • Requires specific care for the down filling to maintain loft and insulation.
  • The sporty aesthetic might not suit all formal occasions.
  • Limited external pocket count.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This gilet requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of its packaging. Ensure it is fully unfurled to allow the down filling to regain its loft.

Compatibility: This garment is designed for adult males and offers a relaxed fit suitable for layering over various types of clothing, from t-shirts to light sweaters.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (30°C) with a mild detergent. It is recommended to wash the gilet with other items that allow it to move freely in the washing machine to help redistribute the down.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to add tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer to help break up clumps of down and restore the garment's loft. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing.
  3. Storage: Store in the provided dust bag or a breathable garment bag to protect the down and maintain its loft. Avoid storing in plastic bags or compressed for long periods.
