FAQs
Is this gilet windproof?
It provides good protection against light breezes, but it is primarily designed for mobility rather than as a heavy windbreaker.
Can I machine wash this garment?
Yes, it can be machine washed, but we recommend using a gentle cycle and a low temperature to preserve the technical properties of the fabric.
Is the fabric noisy when moving?
No, the Extol Stretch material is soft and designed to be quiet during movement.
Does it have an internal pocket?
This model features one zipped chest pocket and two external lower pockets.
How should this fit?
It should have a snug, streamlined fit to effectively trap body heat, but it should not restrict your range of motion due to the stretch fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent performance is fading.
The protective coating may need a refresh with a standard outdoor garment reproofing spray after several washes.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a dry graphite lubricant if the zip remains stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be worn over base layers or light sweaters depending on the temperature. To maintain the water-repellent finish, wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh chemical detergents. It is best to air dry the garment to protect the elasticity of the fabric and the stretch binding. Always ensure the zippers are closed before laundering to prevent snagging on other items.
