FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this gilet?

The gilet is designed to provide core warmth as a mid-layer for outdoor activities in cool to mild weather, offering freedom of movement for the arms.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, it features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it water-resistant against light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.

How do I find the right size?

Consult the size guide provided in the product description. Chest measurements range from XXS (34 inches) to 4XL (56 inches).

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

It provides good insulation for moderate cold, especially when layered. For very cold conditions, it should be used as a mid-layer with a warm base and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

What kind of maintenance does the DWR finish require?

To maintain water repellency, avoid fabric softeners during washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically as per product instructions.

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners.

What is the filling material?

The filling is microfibre, chosen for its insulating properties and ability to provide warmth.

Troubleshooting

Gilet not providing enough warmth

Ensure you are layering correctly. Add a warmer base layer or an outer shell for colder conditions. Check that the full zip is fastened.

Water repellency has decreased

The DWR finish may need re-application. Follow product instructions for re-proofing. Ensure the garment is clean before re-proofing.

Zip is sticking

Gently try to move the zip. You can lubricate the zip with a graphite pencil or a specialized zip lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.

Pilling or damage to the fabric

Inspect the garment for snags. If minor pilling occurs, it can often be removed with a fabric shaver. For significant damage, repair may be necessary.
