How should I wash this gilet?

Is the gilet waterproof?

What is the benefit of the gathered back?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Gilet filling appears clumpy after washing
Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Place it in a dryer on a no-heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This will help to break up any clumps and restore the loft of the filling.
Minor stains on the fabric
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap. Rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid rubbing aggressively.
