FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The Trespass Leona Gilet is made from pongee fabric, which offers resistance against outdoor elements and light moisture, making it weather-resistant. However, it is not fully waterproof, and we recommend a dedicated waterproof jacket for heavy or prolonged rain.

How should I clean my gilet?

Please refer to the care label inside your gilet for specific instructions. Typically, it can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and either tumble dry on low or, ideally, hang dry completely.

What kind of weather is this gilet best suited for?

This gilet is ideal for chilly weather, changing seasons, and unpredictable conditions where you need core warmth and protection from light elements without the bulk of a full jacket. It functions well as a mid-layer or a light outer layer.

Does the hood detach?

No, the Trespass Leona Gilet features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is an integral part of the gilet's design and cannot be detached.

Are the pockets secure for valuables?

The gilet includes two convenient pockets for ample storage of essentials. While practical for general use, the product description does not specify closures like zippers or snaps. For extremely valuable items or during highly active use, exercising caution or using additional secure storage is advisable.

What is 'pongee fabric'?

Pongee fabric is a type of polyester fabric known for its fine, plain weave, resulting in a lightweight yet durable material. It often has water-resistant properties and a smooth texture, making it suitable for outdoor apparel.

How does the 'storm flap' work?

The storm flap is an extra layer of fabric positioned over the main zipper or opening. Its purpose is to provide additional protection against wind and rain, preventing drafts and moisture from penetrating through the garment's closure, thereby enhancing warmth and weather defense.

Can I wear this gilet in winter?

The Leona Gilet provides excellent core warmth and can be part of a winter layering system. For very cold winter conditions, it's recommended to wear it over a warm base layer and a fleece, and potentially under a heavy winter coat or waterproof shell for full protection.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm than expected.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. The gilet primarily provides core warmth; consider adding a long-sleeved thermal or fleece underneath for extra insulation, especially in colder conditions.

Water resistance seems to be diminishing, or I'm getting wet in light rain.

While made from weather-resistant pongee fabric, gilets are not fully waterproof. For sustained or heavy rain, always layer with a dedicated waterproof outer shell. Regularly cleaning the gilet according to care instructions can help maintain its fabric performance.

Hood feels too loose or too tight, or blows off easily in wind.

Adjust the integrated hood ties to customize the fit around your head, making it more secure and comfortable for varying weather conditions. The 'grown-on' design ensures it stays attached to the gilet.

Movement feels restricted despite the side vents.

Check that the gilet size is appropriate for your body and the layers you are wearing underneath. The side vents are designed to aid mobility, but an ill-fitting size or excessively bulky layers can still impact freedom of movement.

Compatibility

This gilet is designed as a highly versatile layering piece. It pairs effectively over base layers, thermal tops, fleeces, or light sweaters for added warmth.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Leona Gilet, follow these general care guidelines. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for precise instructions.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and insulation.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain insulation loft.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid compressing for extended periods to maintain the loft of the padding.
