FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Arana gilet?
The Arana gilet is designed to provide core warmth and protection from wind and light rain during outdoor activities, without restricting arm movement.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
The gilet has a waterproof fabric and a durable water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For heavy or prolonged rain, a more robust waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, typically available on their website or product listing, to find the best fit based on your chest and waist measurements.
Can I wear this over a thick sweater?
While it can be worn over a t-shirt or a thin fleece, wearing it over a very thick sweater might restrict movement and affect the fit. It's designed to be a versatile layer, often worn over thinner garments.
What is the breathability rating?
The gilet has a breathability rating of 10,000/m/24 hours, indicating good moisture vapor transfer to keep you comfortable during activity.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is decreasing
Wash the gilet according to care instructions and re-apply a specific water-repellent treatment for outdoor fabrics.
Zippers are stiff or sticking
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to help it slide smoothly.
Gilet feels less breathable
Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt and residue can clog the pores. Check for any blockages in the fabric itself.
