FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The 'Light Cosi' Gilet provides core warmth and is ideal for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For very cold weather, it is best worn with additional warm layers underneath or a heavier outer jacket.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Consult the product's size guide for detailed measurements. Compare your own measurements to find the best fit. The gilet is designed for a streamlined fit, so consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
What does 'water-resistant' mean for this gilet?
Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to a certain extent, protecting you from light drizzles and brief showers. It is not waterproof, so it will not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy rain.
Can I machine wash the gilet?
Yes, you can machine wash the gilet at 30 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Please follow all other care instructions, such as avoiding bleach and tumble drying on low heat.
Does the gilet have a hood?
No, this specific 'Light Cosi' model is a sleeveless gilet and does not come with a hood.
What material is the gilet made of?
The gilet is primarily made of Polyester, with padded insulation for warmth.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the size guide and compare measurements. Consider trying a different size if available. Ensure you are layering appropriately for the intended fit.
Water resistance is reduced.
Wash according to care instructions using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect water-repellent properties. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment suitable for outdoor apparel if the issue persists after washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the teeth. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
