FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this gilet?

The gilet is designed to provide lightweight insulation and core warmth, making it ideal for outdoor activities and layering in transitional weather.

How do I determine my correct size?

Please refer to the size chart provided in the product description. The XXL size corresponds to a chest measurement of 49 inches.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

The gilet has a DWR finish which makes it water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold temperatures?

Yes, it can be worn in cold temperatures as part of a layering system. It provides insulation, but for extreme cold, you will likely need to pair it with a warm mid-layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

How should I wash the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Does the gilet have many pockets?

This gilet features two convenient side pockets for storing small essentials.

What material is the filling made of?

The filling is made of microfibre, which offers good insulating properties while remaining lightweight.

Troubleshooting

Gilet not providing enough warmth

Ensure the gilet is properly zipped up and consider layering with additional clothing underneath. The gilet is designed as an insulating layer, not a primary extreme weather garment.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment to restore water repellency. Check that all seams are intact.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite from a pencil or specialized zipper wax to the zipper teeth.
