FAQs
Is the Trespass Leona Gilet fully waterproof?
The Leona Gilet features Pongee fabric which provides resistance against outdoor elements and light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof outer shell over the gilet.
How should I wash my Leona Gilet?
Machine wash your gilet on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls to help fluff the insulation, or air dry flat, avoiding direct sunlight.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?
Yes, but primarily as a layering piece. The Leona Gilet provides excellent core warmth. For very cold winter conditions, it is best worn over thermal layers and under a warm, protective outer jacket.
Are there any internal pockets?
The Trespass Leona Gilet is equipped with two external pockets for convenient storage of your essentials. There are no specified internal pockets.
What is Pongee fabric?
Pongee is a durable, tightly woven polyester fabric known for its smooth texture and resistance to tearing and water. It's an excellent choice for outdoor apparel due to its protective qualities.
Is the hood removable?
No, the Leona Gilet features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is an integrated part of the gilet's design and cannot be detached.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. The gilet provides core warmth; for very cold conditions, it should be worn over suitable base layers and possibly under a jacket. Check that the insulation baffles are not compressed from improper storage or washing.
Zippers feel stiff or sticky
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or rub a pencil lead along the zipper teeth. Work the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant. Keep zippers clean from dirt and debris.
Fabric appears wrinkled or creased after washing
After washing, gently reshape the gilet and either tumble dry on low with a few dryer balls to fluff the insulation or hang it immediately on a padded hanger to air dry. Avoid prolonged compression while wet.
