Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth.
Gilet is not as warm as expected
Ensure the gilet is fully zipped. For colder conditions, consider layering a thermal base layer underneath and a windproof jacket over the top. Goose down provides lofted insulation, which works best when not compressed.
Fabric has a crease after unpacking
Iron on reverse at a maximum temperature of 110°C, without steam. Alternatively, hang the gilet in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
