FAQs
What is the main benefit of the ThermaFIT ADV technology?
ThermaFIT ADV technology combines heat-regulating fabric with advanced engineering to help you stay warm in cold-weather conditions without overheating.
Is the insulation in this gilet animal-friendly?
Yes, the gilet uses Eco Down fill, which is derived from white goose down, and synthetic AeroLoft insulation, offering warmth with consideration for sustainability.
Can I wear this gilet in heavy rain?
The gilet features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over the gilet.
How do I ensure the gilet maintains its warmth after washing?
After washing, tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting, ideally with a tennis ball. This helps to restore the loft of the insulation and maintain its thermal properties.
What are the reflective elements for?
The reflective Swoosh logo on the chest and the reflective bar on the back hem are designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, such as early morning or evening.
Does the gilet have an inner pocket?
This particular model features two zippered side pockets for secure storage, but does not list any internal pockets in its description.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the gilet is properly zipped and layered over appropriate base layers. Check that the ThermaFIT ADV and AeroLoft insulation has not been compressed during storage; tumble drying on low with a tennis ball can help restore loft.
Water repellency is reduced.
The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider applying a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
