FAQs

What is 'longue saison' fabric?

'Longue saison' is a type of lightweight, durable, and water-repellent nylon fabric that Moncler uses, known for providing warmth without bulk.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?

While it provides good warmth, it is best suited for mid-season use or as a layering piece in colder climates. For extreme cold, it should be worn under a heavier outer jacket.

How should I wash the gilet?

It is recommended to follow the care label instructions precisely. Typically, this involves a gentle machine wash on a cold setting with tennis balls in a front-loading machine, or professional cleaning. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Can this gilet be ironed?

Ironing is generally not recommended for down-filled garments as high heat can damage the down and synthetic outer fabrics. If necessary, use the lowest heat setting and iron on the reverse side, avoiding direct contact with the fabric.

What does 'packable' mean for this gilet?

It means the gilet can be compressed and folded into a small size, making it easy to carry in a bag or backpack for convenience.

What is the difference between down and feather filling?

Down refers to the soft, fluffy undercoating of waterfowl, providing superior insulation. Feathers have a quill and are less insulating but add structure and loft to the fill.

What size children's UK is this gilet?

This specific product listing is for size 9-10 years (UK).

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are escaping

This can occasionally happen with high-quality down products. Gently pull the feather back through the fabric from the opposite side if possible. Avoid excessive pulling. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to care instructions, as improper handling can exacerbate this.

Gilet loses its loft/fluffiness

Place the gilet in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the down's natural loft. Ensure it is completely dry.

Water repellency seems reduced

The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing. Consider using a specific down garment wash that includes a re-proofing agent, or applying a separate water-repellent spray suitable for technical outerwear after cleaning and drying.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the down and feather filling, professional cleaning or a specific gentle machine wash is recommended. Follow the care label instructions precisely. If machine washing, use a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. Add tennis balls to the drum to help maintain the loft of the down.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with the tennis balls. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew. It may take several cycles.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the gilet for extended periods to preserve the down's loft.
  • Cleaning Stains: For minor spills, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
