FAQs
Is the Aspesi Padded Gilet waterproof?
The nylon material is water-resistant, providing protection against light showers, but it is not fully waterproof.
How does the sizing run?
The gilet follows a standard, streamlined fit. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear heavy layers underneath, consider sizing up.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the vest. High heat can damage the nylon fabric and affect the insulation properties.
What is Thermore wadding?
Thermore is a high-performance, synthetic insulation designed to mimic the warmth of down while remaining lightweight and hypoallergenic.
Is this suitable for formal events?
Its sleek, minimalist design makes it appropriate for smart-casual events, though it is primarily designed as functional, high-end casual wear.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, all exterior pockets feature zipper closures to ensure your personal items remain secure.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and run a small amount of graphite or a specialist zipper lubricant along the teeth.
Padding appears uneven after washing
Gently shake or pat the vest while drying to help redistribute the Thermore wadding evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance will extend its lifespan. Since the shell is made from lightweight nylon, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent snagging.
For care: Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash instructions. Generally, machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can compromise the integrity of the synthetic nylon. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and the insulation properties of the Thermore padding. Do not bleach or iron the nylon shell.
