Product Information
Full details
The Altura Esker Dune Insulated Gilet is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, mid-layer solution that balances warmth with wind protection. Utilizing recycled insulation and a durable Pertex Quantum Eco windproof shell, this gilet is perfect for layering during hiking, cycling, or casual cold-weather activities. While its relaxed fit provides excellent freedom of movement, users should note that the gilet is designed primarily as an insulating layer and lacks sleeves, requiring additional outer layers during extreme downpours or freezing conditions.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is windproof and features a DWR coating to repel light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.
What is the fit like?
It has a relaxed fit designed to be comfortable and easily layered over other garments.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Yes, tumble drying on a low heat setting is generally recommended to help restore the insulation loft.
What material is the insulation made of?
The insulation is crafted from recycled post-consumer PET.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it includes a convenient zipped chest pocket for small, secure storage.
Troubleshooting
The DWR coating is soaking through rather than beading water.
The protective coating may have worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a fresh DWR treatment spray.
The 2-way zipper feels stiff or catches.
Clean any debris from the zipper tracks using a soft brush. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a candle wax lightly to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of the Altura Esker Dune, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for insulated gear. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can compromise the DWR coating. For best results, tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry; occasionally re-treating the outer shell with a DWR spray will keep the water-repellent properties effective. Due to its relaxed fit, this gilet is compatible with most standard base layers and long-sleeve jerseys without feeling restrictive.
