How many pockets does it have?

It features one zipped chest pocket and two lower zipped pockets.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is designed for warmth and breathability and is not waterproof. It offers protection against wind but not heavy rain.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

The gilet provides core warmth and is best suited as a mid-layer in colder temperatures or as an outer layer in milder conditions. For very cold weather, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

How should I wash the gilet?

What activities is this gilet suitable for?

It is suitable for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, walking, and casual everyday wear, especially in cooler or sunny conditions.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight/loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the stretch binding at the armholes and hem for any signs of damage that might affect fit. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider a different size.

Pockets are not secure.

Ensure all zippers are fully zipped. If a zipper is faulty, contact customer support for repair or replacement options.

Fabric feels less warm than expected.

The gilet is designed for core warmth and breathability. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer base layer or under a heavier jacket. Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt and oils can sometimes reduce insulation properties.
