Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Men's Seasons II Padded Gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile layering piece for active or casual wear. Its key benefit is providing core warmth and insulation without restricting arm movement, thanks to its microfibre filling and sleeveless design. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may penetrate. This gilet features a durable nylon shell, a high-neck for extra protection, and practical side pockets, all secured with a full zip.

FAQs

What material is the gilet made of?

The shell is made of durable Nylon, and the filling is Microfibre for insulation.

Is the gilet waterproof?

No, it features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes it resistant to light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.

What sizes are available?

Sizes range from XXS (34 inches chest) up to 4XL (56 inches chest).

How should I clean the gilet?

It is machine washable on a cool cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

It provides good insulation for moderate cold and is excellent for layering. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more insulated or heavy-duty outer jacket.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it is equipped with two practical side pockets.

What is the benefit of the high-neck design?

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

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels cold or not insulating enough.

Ensure you are layering appropriately. This gilet is designed for moderate warmth and works best when layered over other insulating garments or under a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish provides water *resistance*, not waterproofing. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended. The DWR treatment may also need reapplication over time.

Zipper is stiff or catching.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to ease the zipper. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax applied to the zipper teeth can help. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Gilet has lost its water-repellent properties.

The DWR finish naturally wears off over time. Consider washing the gilet and then applying a specific DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the manufacturer's instructions for the treatment product.
