FAQs

What type of insulation does the Carlotte gilet use?

The gilet uses synthetic Warmloft down-touch insulation, which is designed to mimic the warmth and loft of down without the bulk and with better performance when damp.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

No, the gilet has a water-repellent finish which is suitable for light showers or brief exposure to moisture. It is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.

How should I clean my gilet?

You can machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry.

What activities is this gilet best suited for?

It is ideal for everyday layering on cooler days, casual walks, and light outdoor activities where lightweight warmth and some protection from light showers are needed.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to use it as a mid-layer beneath a more insulated outer jacket.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, the gilet features one internal security pocket for storing valuables, in addition to two lower zipped pockets on the exterior.

What material is the outer fabric?

The outer fabric is lightweight 20d polyamide, weighing 37gsm.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm than expected

Ensure the insulation is not compressed. If washed, ensure it is fully dried. For extreme cold, layer with additional thermal clothing.

Water beads less effectively after multiple uses

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Use a suitable DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in product according to its instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently rub a graphite pencil or a wax-based product along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Pilling or fuzz on the fabric surface

This can occur with normal wear. Gently remove any loose pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid harsh abrasion.
