FAQs

What type of weather is this gilet best suited for?

The Langtree gilet is ideal for mild, transitional weather, such as autumn days or spring mornings where temperatures are cool but not freezing, and there might be light rain or drizzle.

Can I wear this gilet in the winter?

It can be worn in winter as a layering piece over warmer clothing, but it is not designed to be a primary winter coat and may not provide sufficient insulation on its own in very cold conditions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are designed to be secure with zips, offering protection from light splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof, so it's best to avoid submerging items in them.

What material is the gilet made of?

The gilet is made from a comfortable polyamide fabric.

How should I clean the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Does the gilet have a hood?

No, this particular gilet model does not feature a hood.

What does 'showerproof' mean in relation to this gilet?

'Showerproof' means the fabric has been treated to resist water penetration from light rain or showers. It is not designed to withstand heavy or prolonged rainfall.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if unsure. The gilet is designed for a comfortable fit, not a snug athletic fit.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Water is penetrating the fabric

The gilet is showerproof, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a more robust waterproof jacket is recommended. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams that might affect its water resistance.
