FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the H2OShield technology?
H2OShield technology, combined with a durable water repellent finish, provides protection against light rain and moisture, helping to keep the wearer dry.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
While the gilet is insulating and wind-resistant, its sleeveless design means it's best used as a layering piece in colder conditions. For very cold weather, layer it over a warm base layer and/or a fleece.
How should I wash the gilet to maintain its properties?
Wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can affect the fabric's performance.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed from 76% Recycled Polyester, 21% Polyester, and 3% Elastane, featuring a microfleece softshell fabric.
Can I wear this gilet in windy conditions?
Yes, the gilet is designed to be wind-resistant, making it suitable for wearing in breezy conditions to help block out wind chill.
What are the dimensions of the chest pocket?
The product information does not specify exact dimensions for the chest pocket, but it is designed to securely hold essentials like a phone or wallet.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently run a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may diminish over time. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing according to product instructions to restore water resistance.
Gilet feels tight when layering.
Consider ordering a size up if you intend to layer with thick garments underneath. Check the sizing guide and measure your chest circumference.
Pilling on the microfleece fabric.
Some pilling can occur with microfleece over time. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive contact can minimize this. Do not use fabric softener, as it can affect performance.
