FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Hiva Down Gilet?

The Hiva Down Gilet is designed to provide lightweight warmth and is ideal for layering over other clothing during transitional weather or as an extra insulating layer.

What materials is the gilet made from?

How should I wash this gilet?

This gilet requires hand washing only. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.

Does the gilet contain any animal products?

Yes, the filling contains down and feathers, which are non-textile parts of animal origin.

What sizes are available for this gilet?

This specific listing is for size 12-18 months. Other sizes, including 18-24 months and sizes 2 and 3, are available in various colors as separate listings.

Is the gilet waterproof?

The nylon fabric offers some resistance to light wind and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed primarily for warmth and light weather protection.

What is the benefit of the gathered back?

The softly gathered back is a design detail that adds a touch of style and can create a slightly more fitted or flattering silhouette.

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.
