FAQs
What is Sherpa fleece?
Sherpa fleece is a type of synthetic fleece fabric known for its softness, warmth, and similarity to sheep's wool (sherpa). It provides excellent insulation without significant weight.
Can this gilet be worn in the rain?
This gilet is primarily designed for warmth and is made of fleece, which is not waterproof. It will offer minimal resistance to light moisture but is not suitable for significant rain. A waterproof outer layer is recommended in wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Trespass size chart, which usually provides measurements for chest, waist, and hips. Compare your own measurements to find the best fit. This specific model is a women's fit.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
It is suitable as a mid-layer for cold weather. For extremely cold conditions, additional layers and a warmer outer jacket would be necessary.
Can the pockets hold a smartphone?
The two zip pockets are designed for secure storage of essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones should fit, but larger models may be a tight squeeze.
What is the benefit of coverseam detail?
Coverseam detail refers to a type of stitching that encloses the raw edges of fabric. This increases the garment's durability, prevents fraying, and provides a cleaner, more finished appearance.
How should I wash my fleece gilet to maintain its softness?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fleece's texture.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or loose
Check the size chart provided by Trespass for accurate measurements. Ensure the contrast stretch bindings are not overly stretched.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, check for damage to the teeth or pull.
Fleece is shedding excessively
Wash the gilet inside out on a cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. This is common with new fleece items and should decrease with subsequent washes.
Pockets do not zip smoothly
Check for any obstructions in the pocket zippers. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is smooth. If the issue persists, the zipper may need professional repair.
