Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your down-filled gilet:
Washing: Due to its down and feather filling, hand washing or a delicate machine wash cycle (cold water, mild, down-specific detergent) is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals, fabric softeners, or bleach. Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed before washing.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean dryer balls (e.g., tennis balls). The dryer balls help to break up clumps of down and restore its loft. This process can take several hours, and you may need to periodically remove the gilet to fluff it by hand. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve the down's insulating properties.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. To maintain optimal loft, avoid compressing the gilet for extended periods. Hanging it on a wide hanger is ideal.
Water Repellency: The water-repellent coating may need periodic re-treatment with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after several washes or extensive use to maintain its effectiveness.
