FAQs
What temperature is this vest suitable for?
The Gertrude Vest provides thermal protection down to 0°C, making it suitable for cold weather conditions.
Can I wear this vest in the rain?
The high-density nylon shell offers some protection against light moisture and wind. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over the vest.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood can be adjusted using the silicone drawcords. Tighten them to secure the hood and provide a snugger fit around the head.
Is the hood detachable?
Yes, the hood is removable, offering flexibility in styling and wear depending on the weather conditions.
What is the filling made of?
The vest is filled with premium natural down, providing excellent warmth and insulation.
How should I clean the printed logo?
The logo is printed tone-on-tone and should be cared for gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the logo area during cleaning.
What are the available sizes?
This product is available in multiple sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart or available options for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Down filling clumping after washing.
Tumble dry the vest on low heat with clean tennis balls for 10-15 minute cycles. This helps to break up clumps and restore the loft of the down.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Vest feels less warm than before.
Check if the down has become compressed or if the outer shell has lost its water-repellent properties. Ensure the vest is clean and dry, and consider a gentle wash and tumble dry with tennis balls to re-loft the insulation.
