FAQs
What does 'ProTek technology' mean for the gilet?
ProTek technology provides a water-repellent shield, meaning the fabric will resist and repel light water droplets, such as from a drizzle or mist, helping to keep you dry.
Is this gilet fully waterproof?
No, the gilet is designed with water-repellent properties, not full waterproofing. It is suitable for light rain or mist but not for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What is the best way to layer this gilet?
The gilet features a regular fit and is ideal for layering over a golf polo, a long-sleeved shirt, or a thin mid-layer. The half-zip allows for easy adjustment of ventilation.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes help reactivate the finish after washing.
What is the material composition of the gilet?
The gilet is made from 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and quick-drying properties.
Does the gilet have pockets?
The provided product description does not specify pocket details. Please refer to product imagery or further specifications if available.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Ensure no fabric softeners were used during washing. Consider applying a specialized water-repellent spray for outdoor fabrics, following the product instructions carefully.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Avoid high heat during drying. Try tumble drying on a low setting or line drying. If still stiff, a very low-heat iron might help, but avoid direct contact with logos.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
