Product Information

Full details

The Trespass Womens Gilet Leona is designed for active women seeking a versatile and warm layering piece for outdoor adventures or daily wear. Its key win is providing reliable warmth and comfort with durable, weather-resistant materials, making it ideal for changing seasons. While excellent for layering, it functions best as a mid-layer or light outer layer rather than a standalone heavy winter coat.

FAQs

Is the Trespass Leona Gilet waterproof?

The gilet is crafted from high-quality pongee fabric, which provides resistance against outdoor elements and light moisture, enhanced by a storm flap for weather defense. While it offers good protection against light rain and wind, it is not explicitly rated as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

How do I determine the correct size for me?

The Leona Gilet is designed to be a comfortable layering piece. We recommend choosing your usual dress size. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for thicker layers underneath, you might consider sizing up, but generally, it runs true to size for its intended purpose.

Can I wear this gilet in winter?

Yes, with its padded panels and stitched baffles providing effective insulation, the Leona Gilet is well-suited for cooler weather. It performs excellently as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof jacket during winter, or as an outer layer on milder winter days.

Does the hood detach?

No, the Leona Gilet features an adjustable grown-on hood with hood ties, meaning it is integrated into the gilet's design and cannot be detached.

What is 'Pongee' fabric?

Pongee is a type of soft, thin woven fabric, often made from polyester. It's known for its durability, smooth finish, and good resistance to water and wrinkles, making it an excellent choice for outdoor apparel.

How many pockets does it have?

The Trespass Leona Gilet is designed with two convenient pockets, providing ample storage for your essentials while on the go.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too bulky or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If layering, consider thinner base layers or adjust other garments. The side vents are designed to aid mobility, ensure they are not obstructed.

Gilet doesn't feel as warm as expected.

Check that all zippers are fully closed and the storm flap is properly secured to minimize heat loss. Ensure the hood ties are tightened if you're feeling a draft around the neck/head. For very cold conditions, ensure you are layering appropriately underneath.

The padding feels uneven after washing.

After washing, gently pat and redistribute the insulation by hand. When drying, especially if air drying, regularly fluff the gilet to help the padding settle evenly.

Pockets appear lumpy when items are stored.

Avoid overfilling the pockets. Distribute items evenly and consider using smaller, flatter essentials to maintain a smooth profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Trespass Leona Gilet requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply put it on and adjust the hood ties for a personalized fit.

Compatibility

This gilet is designed as a versatile layering piece. It is compatible with:

Base Layers: Wear over thermal tops or light t-shirts.
Mid-Layers: Fits comfortably over thin sweaters, fleeces, or long-sleeved shirts.
Outer Shells: Can be worn under waterproof or windproof jackets for added warmth in harsher conditions.
Activities: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor and casual activities due to its blend of warmth, mobility, and weather resistance.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the gilet's insulation and fabric integrity. While specific care instructions should always be confirmed on the product's internal label, here are general guidelines for polyester-filled garments:

Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: It is best to air dry the gilet flat to ensure the padding remains evenly distributed. If using a dryer, use a low heat or air-only setting and consider adding a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation.
Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the synthetic fabric and insulation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain loft.
