Its key benefit is providing excellent heat retention and protection from light rain due to its water-resistant treatment and padded insulation.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the padded insulation?
The microfibre padding provides excellent heat retention, keeping you warm by trapping body heat, serving as a synthetic alternative to down.
How long does the water-resistant treatment last?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment is designed to last through regular use. Its effectiveness can diminish over time and with washing. Reapplication may be necessary to maintain optimal water repellency.
Can this gilet be worn in heavy rain?
The gilet is treated for water-resistance, making it suitable for light rain or brief showers where droplets bead and roll off. It is not designed to be waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy or prolonged rain.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
'PFC-free' means the garment has been made without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are chemicals often used in water-repellent treatments but can have environmental concerns.
What is the warranty period for this gilet?
The gilet comes with a 2-year warranty, providing coverage for guaranteed quality and peace of mind against manufacturing defects.
How should I clean the gilet to maintain its properties?
It is recommended to machine wash the gilet at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing. Avoid dry cleaning.
What size options are available?
This particular listing is for Size 14 UK. The Anmore Womens Padded Gilet is available in a range of sizes. Please check the product listing or available variants for other size options.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off over time. Reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions to restore water repellency.
Gilet feels less warm than before.
Ensure the insulation is not compressed. If the gilet has been stored compressed for a long time, gently fluff the filling. Ensure it is clean, as dirt can sometimes affect insulation performance. Consider if the ambient temperature requires a warmer outer layer.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
