It is water-repellent due to its DWR coating, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy or prolonged downpours.
The gilet is designed with a relaxed fit to allow for layering, but it is optimized to be worn over jerseys or thin base layers rather than bulky winter coats.
Yes, the gilet uses recycled insulation materials as part of Altura's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
No, this model features a zipped chest pocket but does not have standard rear cycling pockets.
Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a small bag for extended periods to ensure the insulation maintains its loft.
Clear any debris or fabric trapped in the track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a candle wax stick to the teeth.
The DWR coating has worn off; treat the garment with a specialized DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these care instructions. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric detergent to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the windproof and water-repellent properties of the fabric. Tumble dry on low heat, or better yet, air dry away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the recycled insulation. This gilet is compatible with most cycling base layers and jerseys due to its relaxed fit, making it a versatile addition to your existing kit. Ensure the zipper is closed before washing to prevent snagging.
