Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a down-filled garment, maintenance is key to longevity. Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash instructions. Generally, you should machine wash on a gentle cycle with a dedicated down detergent. To prevent the down from clumping, tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the insulation back to its original state. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the feathers of their natural oils and durability. Store the garment in a cool, dry place and ensure it is fully dry before packing it away for the season.
