FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides core insulation and is ideal for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it's best used as a mid-layer combined with a warm base layer and an insulated outer jacket.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy rainfall. A dedicated waterproof jacket should be worn in such conditions.

How do I clean the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours using a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

What are the 'Extol stretch panels'?

These are panels made from a stretch fabric, typically located in areas requiring greater flexibility like the side seams or underarms. They allow the gilet to move with your body, enhancing comfort and freedom of movement during activity.

What material is the gilet made from?

The main body is typically made of polyester for insulation, with advanced Extol stretch panels for flexibility.

Where is this gilet best used?

It is best suited for outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and general outdoor adventures in cool or changeable weather. It's also practical for casual everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider the thickness of layers worn underneath. The Extol stretch panels offer some flexibility, but proper sizing is key for full range of motion.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time with washing. Consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for outdoor clothing after cleaning, following the product's instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently pull the zipper while trying to straighten the fabric around it. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil can be applied to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
