FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold, snowy weather?

This gilet provides good warmth for its weight but is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather. For extreme cold, consider layering with additional insulated garments.

How do I ensure the down stays evenly distributed?

Proper washing and drying are key. Always tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore the down's loft and even distribution.

What are the dimensions when packed?

The gilet packs into a compact dust bag. While exact dimensions vary with packing density, it is designed to be small enough to fit easily into a backpack or travel bag.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet combines goose down padding with technical fabric for its main construction.

Can this gilet be worn by women?

This specific model is designed for men. While fit can vary, it is tailored to a male physique.

How often should I wash the gilet?

Wash only when necessary to preserve the down's quality. Spot cleaning for small marks is recommended. Follow the care instructions for full washing.

Troubleshooting

Gilet has lost its loft and warmth

The down filling may have clumped. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the down.

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If fabric is caught, carefully pull it away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.

Minor stains on the fabric

Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Rinse the area with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
