FAQs
What is the gilet filled with?
The gilet is filled with a lightweight, recycled, feather-free synthetic down alternative.
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is water-repellent, meaning it can resist light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended.
How do I know if this is the right size?
This specific listing is for Size UK 20. Please refer to standard women's UK sizing charts for accurate measurements and comparisons.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet provides good insulation for its weight and is suitable for cool to mild conditions, or as a mid-layer in colder weather when combined with other warm clothing.
How should I store the gilet when not in use?
It is designed to be packable. Store it loosely or in a breathable bag. Avoid compressing it tightly for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the insulation.
What other colors and sizes are available?
This gilet is available in various colors and sizes. Please check other listings or the brand's official size and color range for alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm after washing
The synthetic fill may have clumped. Tumble dry on a low heat with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the filling and restore loft.
Water repellency seems reduced
Light surface dirt can affect water repellency. Wash the gilet according to care instructions. For more significant restoration, consider a reproofing spray suitable for synthetic outerwear after washing and drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider. You can apply a small amount of wax (like a candle) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
