FAQs

What is the primary material of the gilet?

The gilet is crafted with a durable nylon shell and filled with microfibre for warmth.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

The gilet features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it resistant to light rain or showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?

The gilet provides good insulation, but for very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warm base and mid-layers.

How do I wash the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat.

What does the high-neck design offer?

The high-neck design provides additional protection against cold drafts and wind around the neck area.

Does the gilet have internal pockets?

This specific model description mentions two side pockets for practical storage. Internal pockets are not specified.

What are the benefits of the sleeveless design?

The sleeveless design offers unrestricted arm movement, making it ideal for activities where agility is important, and it simplifies layering over other clothing.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Gilet has lost some water repellency.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully.

Microfibre filling has clumped.

This can sometimes happen after washing. Try tumbling the gilet on a low heat in the dryer with a few clean tennis balls. This can help to redistribute the filling. Ensure you follow the washing and drying instructions.

Seams appear to be coming undone.

For minor loose threads, carefully snip them with scissors. If the seam integrity is compromised, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
