Product Information

Full details

This Craghoppers Altis II Logo Gilet is designed for adult men seeking a versatile, sleeveless layering piece for changeable weather. Its key benefit is providing insulation and wind resistance without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its sleeveless design, which may not offer sufficient warmth in extreme cold without additional layers. The gilet features a microfleece softshell construction with stretch, H2OShield technology for water repellency, and a wind-resistant finish, all contributing to practical outdoor wear. It includes a stand-up collar, full zip, and multiple pockets for essential storage.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the H2OShield technology?

H2OShield provides a durable water-repellent finish, which helps to keep you dry from light rain, snow, or moisture by causing water to bead up and roll off the fabric.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

The gilet provides insulation and wind resistance, making it a good mid-layer for cold weather. For extreme cold, it should be layered with a warm base layer and an insulated outer jacket.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product details. For this gilet, chest measurements are M: 40 in, L: 43 in, XL: 46 in, and 3XL: 52 in. Consider wearing a base layer when measuring if you intend to layer.

Is the gilet machine washable?

Yes, the gilet can be machine washed at 30°C (86°F) with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from 76% Recycled Polyester, 21% Polyester, and 3% Elastane, featuring a microfleece softshell construction.

Does the gilet have a hood?

No, this model features a fused stand-up collar and does not come with a hood.

How many pockets does it have and are they secure?

It has two side pockets and one chest pocket. The chest pocket is zipped for secure storage of small items.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider if the layer underneath is too bulky. The gilet is designed for a snug fit to maximize insulation, but should not impede movement.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The H2OShield finish is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. Reapply DWR treatment to refresh the water-repellent properties if they have diminished over time.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free from debris. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If necessary, use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the teeth.
