Crafted from lightweight, breathable, and water-repellent polyester, this gilet excels at keeping the wearer comfortable while providing ample storage for tools and essentials.

FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
The material is water-repellent and windproof, making it excellent for light rain and windy conditions, though it is not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
Yes, the gilet is designed as a versatile layer, but ensure the XXL size fits comfortably over your base garments without restricting your movement.
What is the purpose of the D-ring?
The D-ring is a robust attachment point intended for securing small items like keys, ID badges, or light tools that you need to keep accessible.
Is the hem adjustable?
The hem is part-elasticated, meaning it naturally conforms to your waist for a comfortable, snug fit without the need for manual adjustment.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
The WORK-GUARD Lite Gilet follows standard adult sizing. Refer to the manufacturer's size chart and measure your chest circumference for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Over time, regular washing can reduce the repellent finish. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray to restore its water-repellent properties.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth of the zipper to lubricate it. Ensure no stray threads from the fabric are caught in the slider.
Stitching at stress points looks frayed
While the garment features bar-tacked stress points for durability, frequent contact with sharp tools can cause minor surface wear. Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors, but do not pull them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your WORK-GUARD Lite Gilet lasts, follow these basic care and compatibility guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash the gilet in cool water using mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which may degrade the water-repellent coating. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and elasticated components.
- Customization: The shell is optimized for embroidery and transfer printing. Consult with a professional garment printer to ensure your branding aligns with the fabric's properties.
- Compatibility: The XXL sizing is designed for a regular adult fit. Ensure you check your measurements against standard sizing charts, as the part-elasticated hem provides some flexibility but is not intended to compensate for incorrect primary sizing.
