FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this gilet?
This gilet is designed for corporate wear and promotional use, featuring a material surface that is ideal for overprinting and embroidery of company logos or designs.
Is this gilet waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. It is described as a softshell with fleece backing, suggesting it offers wind resistance and some water repellency rather than full waterproofing.
How does the mechanical stretch benefit the wearer?
Mechanical stretch allows the fabric to move and recover its shape with the wearer's movements, providing enhanced comfort and ease of movement without feeling restrictive.
What materials is this gilet made from?
It is made from a two-layer softshell fabric which is fleece-backed for warmth and comfort. The specific outer fabric composition is not detailed but is described as woven stretch.
Are there internal pockets?
The description mentions two lower external front zip secure pockets and an inner zip guard, but does not explicitly state the presence of internal pockets.
What sizes are available?
This specific product listing is for size XXL. Other sizes may be available depending on the retailer or manufacturer's range.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The fleece backing provides warmth, making it suitable for cooler conditions. For extremely cold weather, it would likely be best used as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If needed, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Gilet feels too warm.
This gilet is designed for warmth. For milder conditions, consider wearing it unzipped or layered over lighter clothing. It is best suited for cooler weather or as an insulating layer.
Branding (print/embroidery) is damaged.
Check care label for specific washing instructions. Avoid high heat drying or ironing directly on the branded areas. Professional re-application may be required for significant damage.
