FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or mist, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used in heavy downpours.

How do I wash the Gilet?

Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for down garments. Always tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to regain loft.

Can I wear this over a thick sweater?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate mid-weight layers underneath.

What is the primary material?

The exterior is crafted from durable polyester, filled with 90% down and 10% feathers.

Does it have internal pockets?

The design focuses on exterior zip pockets for secure access to essentials.

Troubleshooting

Feathers escaping the fabric

Small amounts of shedding can occur with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the garment and rub the fabric to close the opening; do not pull the feather all the way out.

DWR finish wearing off

If water stops beading on the surface, you can apply a professional-grade DWR spray treatment designed for outdoor apparel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack
  • Versatile layering piece for various temperatures
  • High-quality down insulation ensures excellent thermal retention
  • DWR coating provides reliable protection against light drizzle

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy or prolonged rain exposure
  • Requires specialized care when washing to preserve down loft
  • Limited to casual or smart-casual aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a regular fit. To ensure the longevity of the down filling and the integrity of the water-repellent treatment, always follow the care label instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during laundering, as they can degrade the DWR coating. If the vest loses its "fluff," it can be tumbled on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to redistribute the feathers. Store the gilet in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it in direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading.
