Product Information
Full details
The Aubrion React Gilet is designed for active female riders seeking temperature regulation and performance support before and after workouts. Its key benefit lies in its lightweight, moisture-wicking stretch fabric that ensures comfort during activity. A potential caveat is that the 'body skimming fit' might not suit those preferring a looser silhouette. This gilet offers a flattering fit with core panel construction, a full-length zip for ventilation, adjustable waist bungees for a personalized fit, and a dipped hem for coverage. It also features a cosy hood with signature drawcords, two zip pockets for practicality, and distinctive Aubrion prints and trims.

FAQs
What is the primary function of the Aubrion React Gilet?
The gilet is designed for temperature regulation, providing support and comfort before and after workouts by wicking moisture away from the body.
Is this gilet suitable for cold weather?
The gilet is lightweight and primarily focuses on moisture management and breathability, making it suitable for milder temperatures or as a layering piece under a warmer jacket in colder conditions.
How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?
The fit can be adjusted using the internal bungees located at the waist. The full-length zip and dipped hem also contribute to the overall fit and coverage.
What material is the gilet made of?
The gilet is made from a lightweight, stretchy polyester fabric that offers moisture-wicking properties.
Can I wash the gilet in a washing machine?
Yes, it is recommended to machine wash the gilet at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Yes, the gilet features two zip pockets for secure storage of small items.
What does 'body skimming fit' mean?
This refers to a fit that follows the lines of the body closely without being overly tight, designed to be flattering and functional for active use.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fabric feels less moisture-wicking over time
Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can impede wicking. Wash the gilet with a specialized sports detergent or a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle (without detergent) to help remove buildup. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Drawcords are tangled or difficult to adjust
Carefully untangle the drawcords. If they are very bunched, you may need to gently pull them through the eyelets. Ensure they are not knotted.
Prints are peeling or cracking
This can occur with excessive heat or abrasive washing. Avoid high heat in washing and drying. If minor cracking occurs, avoid ironing directly on the print. Consider gentle hand washing for future washes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet requires no setup and is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is designed to be compatible with standard equestrian apparel and casual activewear. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the gilet at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance properties. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry to maintain the integrity of the material and any printed graphics. Iron on a low setting if necessary, but avoid direct heat on prints.
