Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Sherpa Fleece Gilet is designed for adults seeking a versatile, lightweight outer layer for countryside excursions, outdoor walks, or casual daily wear. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-quality soft sherpa polyester that effectively traps body heat while remaining breathable, offering core warmth without the restricted movement of a full jacket. While it provides excellent layering capabilities, users should note that the polyester material is not waterproof, making it better suited for fair weather or as an internal mid-layer under a shell during heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is made from polyester fleece, which is designed for warmth and breathability rather than water resistance.
Can I wear this under a rain jacket?
Yes, because the gilet is low-bulk and breathable, it serves as an excellent insulating mid-layer beneath a shell.
How should I wash the gilet?
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle and always air dry to protect the material integrity.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials, though they do not have zip closures, so please be cautious with items like phones.
Does the double zip allow for venting?
Yes, the double zip allows you to open the bottom of the gilet while keeping the top fastened, which is ideal for temperature control.
Troubleshooting
Fleece fibers appearing matted or flat
Use a soft garment brush to gently fluff the sherpa fibers after washing and drying.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider running a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your gilet in optimal condition, machine wash it on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners that can mat the sherpa fibers over time. It is highly recommended to air dry the garment away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from losing its loft or shrinking. Regarding compatibility, this XL-sized gilet is designed to fit comfortably over base layers or mid-weight sweaters. If you plan on wearing very bulky knitwear underneath, ensure the garment size allows for enough room in the shoulders to avoid restriction.
