FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It features Omni-Shield advanced repellency, which is water and stain resistant, but it is not considered fully waterproof for heavy rain.
How do I pack the gilet into its pocket?
Locate the designated pocket—usually marked with a specific tag or zipper orientation—and invert the pocket lining to fold the gilet into itself.
Can I wear this under a heavy coat?
Yes, its lightweight, quilted construction makes it an excellent layering piece under a thicker shell or parka.
Is the insulation down or synthetic?
It uses lightweight synthetic insulation, which is designed to retain warmth even if it gets slightly damp.
What does the drop tail design do?
The drop tail is slightly longer in the back, providing extra coverage when sitting or bending over, while maintaining a stylish look.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may be wearing off; wash the garment to remove dirt and reactivate the finish, or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track or debris; use a small amount of graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant to smooth the motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for immediate use right out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the Omni-Shield repellent coating and the thermal insulation, please follow these care instructions:
- Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Harsh chemicals can degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to prevent damage to the quilted material.
- Storage: While it is highly packable, avoid storing the gilet compressed for extended periods of time to maintain the loft of the insulation.
