FAQs

What is the main benefit of the borg fabric?

The borg fabric offers a soft, cosy feel and provides breathable warmth without being overly heavy.

How effective is the UV protection?

The gilet offers UPF 50+ shielding, which blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection for the covered areas.

Can this gilet be worn in cold weather?

It's best suited for moderate conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather. For very cold conditions, additional insulating layers would be necessary.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, all pockets are secured with zippers, ensuring your belongings are kept safe and do not fall out during activity.

What is the fabric weight?

The fabric has a weight of 270 gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a substantial yet breathable fleece.

How should I wash this gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is made from polyester borg fleece and is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to close or open

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to realign the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the zipper.

Fabric feels less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the fleece. Ensure you are following the low-heat or air-dry instructions for care.

Gilet feels too restrictive

Check that you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. The stretch binding is designed for a snug fit; ensure it's not overly stretched or damaged.
