Product Information
Full details
The ARKET Quilted Gilet with Zip Front is a versatile layering piece designed for men who need lightweight warmth during transitional seasons. Its primary benefit lies in its functional quilted design that provides core insulation without the bulk of a full jacket, though potential buyers should note that it is primarily a layering garment and may not offer sufficient protection against extreme cold or heavy precipitation on its own.

FAQs
Is the gilet machine washable?
Yes, it is typically machine washable, but please refer to the specific care label attached to your garment for the manufacturer's recommended temperature.
Can this be worn under a winter coat?

Does it offer protection against wind?
The polyester fabric provides a moderate barrier against wind chill, making it suitable for breezy transitional weather.
Is the fit true to size?
The gilet is designed as a regular fit. If you plan on wearing very bulky layers underneath, you might consider your standard size or checking the specific dimensions.
What is the material composition?
The gilet is crafted from durable polyester, chosen for its lightweight properties and easy maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and clean any lint or debris from the zipper teeth.
Garment appears wrinkled
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the gilet in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to let steam relax the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable garment, no technical setup is required. The regular fit is designed to accommodate standard sizing, but it is recommended to layer it over thinner base layers or medium-weight sweaters for the best comfort. Regarding care, the polyester material is generally machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings. To preserve the quilted structure and the fabric's finish, avoid harsh bleaching agents and air dry the gilet whenever possible instead of using high-heat tumble drying.
