Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for simple, immediate use right out of the package. For long-term care, follow these guidelines to maintain the synthetic insulation's loft and the fabric's water-repellent properties:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent treatment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore the loft of the padding.
- Re-treating: If the water-repellent finish weakens over time, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior to maintain weather resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing the item tightly for extended periods to preserve the insulation's performance.
