FAQs

What type of insulation does this gilet use?

Is the hood permanently attached?

How should I clean the gilet?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional insulating layers would be recommended.

What material is the gilet made from?

Is this gilet suitable for women?

Troubleshooting

Gilet does not feel warm enough

Consider layering with additional thermal clothing underneath, such as a fleece or long-sleeved base layer. Ensure the hood is attached if additional head warmth is needed.

Waterproof finish seems less effective

The waterproof coating may degrade over time. Re-waterproofing treatments designed for synthetic fabrics can be applied following product instructions.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or wax can also help.

Detachable hood is difficult to reattach

Align the hood's attachment points carefully with the collar. Ensure any snaps or zippers are correctly positioned before securing.
