Product Information

Full details

The Trespass Abbott Softshell Gilet is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for adult men who need extra core warmth without sacrificing arm mobility during hiking, cycling, or daily errands. Crafted from durable polyester with an integrated TPU membrane, it provides essential protection against light wind and moisture, though it is not a substitute for a fully waterproof hardshell jacket in heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is wind-resistant and water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and wind, but it is not considered fully waterproof.

Can I wear this while cycling?

Yes, the low-profile design and freedom of movement make it an excellent choice for cycling, especially in cool, breezy conditions.

How should I clean the TPU membrane?

Always use a gentle wash cycle with mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and never use fabric softeners.

Does it have pockets for my smartphone?

Yes, it features secure zip pockets that are sized to hold most standard-sized smartphones safely.

What layers work best with the Abbott Gilet?

It works best as a mid-layer over a moisture-wicking base layer or worn under a heavy waterproof jacket in extreme weather.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks when closing

Ensure the fabric surrounding the zip track is clear of debris; apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zip lubricant if the issue persists.

Water begins to soak through the outer layer

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical softshell garments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and packable for easy layering

  • Not intended for heavy or prolonged rain exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your gilet lasts, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical TPU membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
  3. Compatibility: Best worn over a long-sleeved base layer or under a waterproof shell during harsher winter conditions.
  4. Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain the shape of the garment and ensure the zips remain free from obstructions.
