Product Information
Full details
The Trespass Women's Leona Gilet is designed for female outdoor enthusiasts and casual users seeking reliable warmth and practical style in chilly weather. Its key benefit lies in providing effective core insulation with added protection from its adjustable hood, though as a gilet, it does not offer arm coverage, making it ideal for layering rather than standalone use in very cold conditions.

FAQs
Is the Leona Gilet waterproof?
The gilet is crafted from durable pongee fabric, which typically offers some resistance to light moisture. However, it is not described as fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer layer over or under the gilet.
Can I remove the hood?
No, the hood on the Leona Gilet is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is integrated into the gilet's construction and cannot be detached.
What is 'pongee fabric'?
Pongee is a type of woven polyester fabric known for its durability, smooth texture, and often a subtle sheen. It's commonly used in outdoor wear for its resilience and ability to resist wrinkles and tears.
How should I choose the right size?
The Leona Gilet is available in standard UK women's dress sizes. We recommend consulting the brand's sizing chart to ensure the best fit, especially if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
Can I wear this gilet for active sports?
While the gilet offers warmth and freedom of arm movement, it's primarily designed for general outdoor enthusiasts and casual outings. For high-intensity sports, you might prefer more specialized athletic wear designed for maximum breathability and moisture-wicking.
How do I prevent the padding from clumping after washing?
When tumble drying, add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the machine. These will help to agitate the gilet and fluff the insulation, preventing it from clumping together as it dries.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the gilet is properly zipped up and the adjustable hood is cinched if necessary. Consider layering a suitable fleece or thermal top underneath for additional warmth, especially in very cold conditions. Ensure the gilet has been washed and dried correctly to maintain insulation loft.
Pockets feel bulky or uncomfortable with items.
The pockets are designed for essentials. Try to limit items to smaller, flatter objects like keys, a phone, or a wallet. Distribute items evenly between both pockets to maintain balance and comfort.
Movement feels restricted, despite side vents.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While side vents aid movement, if the gilet is too small, it may still feel restrictive. Try gently stretching the fabric in critical areas (e.g., hips) before extended wear.
Fabric appears dull or stained after outdoor use.
Follow the detailed care instructions for washing. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a mild stain remover suitable for polyester, then wash as directed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric.
