FAQs

What is the main purpose of this gilet?

The gilet is designed to provide core body warmth while allowing maximum freedom of movement for the arms. It's ideal for outdoor activities in mild to cool weather or as a layering piece.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is not waterproof. It is water-repellent due to its fabric treatment, but for heavy rain, an outer waterproof layer is recommended.

What type of insulation does it use?

It uses Warmloft insulation, which is a synthetic alternative to down, providing excellent warmth without significant weight.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to chest and waist measurements. Consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

It can be worn in cold weather as part of a layering system. For extreme cold, it's best used as a mid-layer over insulating base layers and under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket.

What materials are used in its construction?

The gilet is made from Polyamide and Polyester, with Extol Stretch panels and Warmloft insulation.

How should I care for the gilet to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight or restrictive.

Check the size guide and ensure you have ordered the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit, especially if you plan to layer heavily underneath.

Reduced warmth after washing.

Ensure the gilet is properly dried, preferably in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting as this can help to restore the loft of the insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the insulating properties.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Gently try to clear any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
