Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Stenton Fleece Gilet is designed for adult women who need a versatile, insulating layer for outdoor activities. Featuring a rich pile construction with a subtle sheen, it provides an excellent balance of windproofing, breathability, and warmth. While it offers superior durability through reinforced binding and faux nubuck trim, users should note that the gilet is made from 100% polyester, which may not offer the same moisture-wicking properties as technical merino wool layers.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is windproof and insulating, but it is not marketed as waterproof. It will provide some protection in light mist but should be paired with a shell in heavy rain.
How should I wash it?
The gilet is machine washable at 40°C. We recommend washing it inside out to protect the brass components.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, the garment features two secure external zippered pockets.
What is the primary material?
It is constructed from 100% polyester, chosen for its durability and warmth.
Is the sizing accurate?
Yes, this model follows standard sizing. This specific item is an XL.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or caught
Ensure no fabric fibers are trapped in the track; rub a small amount of candle wax or graphite on the teeth to lubricate.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Gently use a fabric shaver or a dedicated lint remover to clear superficial pilling caused by friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to fit true to size as an XL outer layer. To maintain the structural integrity of the faux nubuck trim and the quality of the polyester pile, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C.
- Drying: Air dry naturally to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fleece fibers; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the finish.
- Storage: Hang on a sturdy hanger to keep the garment's shape, ensuring the brass components are dry after outdoor use in damp conditions.
- Compatibility: Best layered over a long-sleeved base or mid-layer shirt; it is compatible with most standard waterproof jackets if used as an under-layer.
