FAQs
Is the hood truly detachable?
Yes, the hood of the Trespass Aretha Gilet is fully detachable. It can be easily removed or reattached using a zipper and snap fastenings around the collar, allowing for versatile styling and functionality.
How warm is this gilet?
The gilet provides lightweight warmth through its padded design. It is ideal for cool to mild temperatures and as a layering piece in colder conditions. It is not designed for extreme winter weather as a standalone outer layer.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features two low-profile pockets with zippers, ensuring your belongings like keys, phone, or wallet are kept secure while you are active.
Can I wear this gilet in the rain?
The gilet offers protection against light rain and wind thanks to its inner storm flap and padded construction. However, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer shell over the gilet.
How do I adjust the fit?
You can adjust the fit of the gilet using the hem adjusters located at the bottom. Simply pull the drawcords to cinch the hem tighter or release them to loosen it, helping to trap warmth and customize comfort.
What material is the gilet made from?
The Trespass Aretha Gilet is made from Polyester, both the outer fabric and the padding, offering durability and good insulation properties.
Troubleshooting
Feeling chilly despite wearing the gilet.
Ensure the hem adjusters are cinched to seal out drafts. Consider wearing a warmer base layer or pairing the gilet with a long-sleeved top. In very cold conditions, this gilet is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.
Gilet feels too bulky or restrictive.
Check if the hem adjusters are too tight; loosen them for more freedom of movement. If wearing multiple layers underneath, try a thinner base layer. The detachable hood can also be removed if not needed, reducing bulk around the neck and head.
Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth to prevent snagging. Ensure the zipper is aligned before pulling. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a specialized zipper wax) to the teeth.
Hood keeps falling off or isn't secure.
Ensure the hood's zipper is fully engaged and the snap fastenings are securely snapped all around the collar. If the hood feels loose, check for any damage to the zipper or snaps.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your gilet. While specific washing instructions should always be checked on the garment's label, general care for polyester padded garments typically includes:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help fluff the padding, or air dry flat. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
