FAQs
Is the Trespass Leona Gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet offers resistance against outdoor elements like wind and light moisture due to its pongee fabric, but it is not fully waterproof. It will protect you from light rain or mist, but not heavy downpours.
What seasons is this gilet best suited for?
The Leona Gilet is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, where temperatures are moderate. It also works well as a layering piece in milder winter conditions, providing extra core warmth under a heavier coat.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, you can machine wash it. Use a cold water setting (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is important not to use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry completely.
Does the gilet have internal pockets?
The description specifies "2 convenient pockets," which are external. There is no mention of internal pockets in this gilet.
What is pongee fabric?
Pongee fabric is a type of woven polyester known for its smooth texture, durability, and resistance to water and wind. It's a popular choice for outerwear due to its practical properties.
How do the side vents contribute to comfort?
The side vents are designed to enhance mobility and airflow. They prevent the gilet from feeling restrictive, especially when moving or sitting, and can also aid in temperature regulation.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood on the Leona Gilet is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is integrated into the design and not detachable.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure it is layered appropriately over a warm base layer. Check that the storm flap is properly secured over the zipper and the hood is adjusted to seal in warmth around the neck and head.
Hood feels too loose or offers insufficient protection.
Utilize the integrated hood ties. Pull them to tighten the hood snugly around your face for better wind and weather protection. Release them for a looser, more comfortable fit.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Ensure the storm flap fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Zip up slowly and carefully. If persistent, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to the teeth.
