FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Aubrion React Gilet?
The primary purpose is effective temperature regulation for active riders, providing comfort before and after workouts by managing moisture and offering adaptable ventilation.
Is the gilet suitable for cold weather riding?
The gilet is lightweight and designed for temperature regulation during activity. For cold weather, it functions best as a mid-layer over warmer base layers, rather than a primary outer layer for insulation.
How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?
The fit can be adjusted using the full-length front zip for ventilation and the adjustable bungees located at the waist for a personalized fit.
Can I wear the gilet for activities other than riding?
Yes, the gilet's moisture-wicking and stretch properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities where temperature regulation and freedom of movement are beneficial.
How should I clean the gilet to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the moisture-wicking capabilities.
What does 'body-skimming fit' mean?
A body-skimming fit means the gilet contours to the body's shape without being overly tight or restrictive, providing a flattering silhouette while allowing for movement.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features two zip pockets, which are designed to securely hold small essential items.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If it is the correct size, the body-skimming fit may not be to your preference. Utilize the adjustable waist bungees for minor fit adjustments.
Moisture not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is clean and free from fabric softeners, which can impede wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions. Check that the fabric is not overloaded with multiple heavy base layers underneath.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil lead to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zip.
Material feels cold before warming up
This gilet is designed for temperature regulation during activity. For warmth before starting to move, consider layering with a warmer base or mid-layer. The gilet's performance is optimized once body heat is generated.
