Russell Outdoor Fleece Gilet - Green

The primary purpose of the Russell Outdoor Fleece Gilet is to provide warmth and comfort as an outerwear piece or a mid-layer in cooler conditions, offering ease of movement due to its sleeveless design.

The anti-pilling fabric technology ensures that the fleece resists the formation of small balls on its surface, helping the gilet maintain its smooth texture and appearance over time, even after multiple washes and wears.

While the gilet is warm due to its 320gsm fleece, its sleeveless design means it is best suited as part of a layering system in very cold weather. You would likely need to wear a warm long-sleeved shirt or jacket underneath.

Yes, the hem features an adjustable bungee cord with a stopper, allowing you to tighten it for a snugger fit to keep out drafts and customize the comfort.

The gilet is certified by Amfori, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex, and WRAP. These certifications indicate adherence to ethical labor practices, environmental responsibility, and the absence of harmful substances.

It is recommended to machine wash the gilet cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry, and do not iron.

The gilet is made from 100% Polyester, specifically a dense compact pile fleece with a weight of 320gsm.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Avoid using fabric softener during washing. If softener was used, you may need to re-wash with a mild detergent without softener. Ensure you are drying on a low heat setting or air drying.

While the fabric is anti-pilling, excessive friction or washing with abrasive materials can sometimes cause minor pilling. Gentle washing and avoiding rough surfaces should minimize this. Minor pilling can often be removed with a fabric shaver.

Check for any debris caught in the cord or stopper. Gently work the cord back and forth to loosen it. Ensure the cord lock is clean and free of obstructions.
