FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this gilet?

The primary benefit is the excellent balance between warmth and high breathability, achieved through its membrane-free softshell construction.

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet features a Teflon® DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which provides protection against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof due to the absence of a membrane.

What materials is the gilet made from?

It is made from a two-layer knitted softshell construction, with a 100% polyester outer and a microfleece inner.

How should I wash the gilet?

You should wash it at 40°C and tumble dry on a low setting. It is important not to use fabric softeners.

Can I store my phone and keys securely?

Yes, the gilet features two zipped pockets designed for secure storage of essentials like your phone, keys, or wallet.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional insulating layers would be recommended.

What does 'dropped tail' mean?

A dropped tail refers to a design feature where the back of the gilet is slightly longer than the front, providing extra coverage for the lower back.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clean. Gently run a pencil lead or bar of soap along the teeth. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track.

Gilet feels less breathable than expected

Check if the DWR coating is heavily soiled or worn. Clean the gilet according to care instructions. Ensure no other layers worn underneath are restricting airflow.

Pilling or damage to the microfleece inner

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Ensure the gilet is washed with similar fabrics and on the correct setting. Tumble dry on low heat.
