FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the Texpel Splash Eco finish, which repels light water, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I embroider on this material?
Yes, the material is specifically designed for printing and embroidery, making it a professional choice for corporate branding.
How should I clean the gilet?
Wash at 40 degrees Celsius, do not use fabric softeners, and line dry for the best results.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, it features mechanical stretch fabric that ensures comfort and freedom of movement.
What is the lining made of?
The gilet is lined with a comfortable micro polar fleece for added warmth.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The water-resistant finish may wear off after repeated washing; consider applying a technical fabric re-proofer spray specifically designed for synthetic softshells.
Fabric snagging at the zipper
Ensure the internal zip guard is laying flat before pulling the zipper; if it continues to snag, inspect the track for debris or loose threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the Texpel Splash Eco finish, machine wash the gilet at a low temperature, ideally 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the water-resistant coating. The garment is designed to fit over standard base layers; ensure you select the appropriate size to avoid pulling at the seams. When adding branding, ensure your printer or embroiderer is aware of the bonded polyester material to select the correct heat settings or backing materials, preventing damage to the softshell laminate.
