FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the mesh-back panel?

The mesh-back panel is designed to significantly improve airflow and breathability, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you comfortable.

Is this gilet waterproof?

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from 100% Polyester.

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash cold with like colours and tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not bleach.

What does 'softshell construction' mean for the wearer?

Softshell construction means the fabric is flexible, comfortable, and allows for ease of movement. It provides a degree of weather resistance without compromising on comfort.

Can I wear this gilet in cold weather?

It can be worn in cold weather as a layering piece over warmer garments, but it is not designed to be a primary source of insulation in extreme cold.

What is the fit like?

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight or too loose

Check the size guide and compare with your measurements. This is a regular fit, designed for comfortable layering.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the mesh-back panel is not obstructed. If the gilet has been washed, ensure fabric softeners were not used excessively, as they can reduce breathability.

Minor snagging on the softshell fabric

Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. Avoid contact with rough surfaces that could cause further snagging.
