FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the mechanical stretch fabric?

The mechanical stretch fabric allows for a greater range of motion and flexibility, ensuring comfort and ease of movement during physical activities or when bending and reaching.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this is a softshell gilet which offers some wind and light shower resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed primarily for warmth and comfort.

How should I prepare the gilet for customisation?

Ensure the gilet is clean and free from any lint or debris. It is recommended to consult with your chosen printer or embroiderer, as they may have specific preparation requirements.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?

This gilet provides good warmth due to its fleece backing. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier, insulated jacket.

What does '2L' in the product name signify?

'2L' refers to the two-layer construction of the softshell fabric, typically meaning an outer shell bonded to an inner fleece layer.

How does the inner zip guard improve comfort?

The inner zip guard is a strip of fabric behind the main zipper that prevents the teeth from irritating your skin or catching on underlayers of clothing.

What are the washing instructions for this gilet?

Machine wash at 40°C and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight when layering.

Consider ordering one size up if you intend to layer with thicker garments. Ensure you are using the correct size for your body frame.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again. Always ensure zippers are fastened before washing.

Fleece pilling after several washes.

This is normal wear for fleece-backed garments. To minimize, follow care instructions precisely, wash inside out, and use a low heat for tumble drying.

Embroidery or print is not adhering well.

Consult with your professional customisation service. Ensure the fabric is clean and dry before application. Certain treatments on the fabric may affect adhesion.
