FAQs
Is the Trespass Aretha Gilet waterproof?
The gilet features an inner storm flap and offers protection against chilly weather and light moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy rain.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable. It can be easily zipped off from the collar when you prefer to wear the gilet without it.
How should I clean my gilet?
It is recommended to machine wash the gilet in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain its quality.
Does this gilet provide enough warmth for winter?
The Aretha Gilet offers lightweight padding and core warmth, making it suitable for cooler weather or as a layering piece in winter. For very cold conditions, it's best to wear it over insulating layers or under a heavier winter coat.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features secure zip pockets, which are ideal for safely storing small items like keys, a phone, or cards while you're on the go.
How do I adjust the fit?
The gilet has hem adjusters with drawcords at the bottom. You can pull these drawcords to cinch the hem tighter, customizing the fit to seal out drafts and maximize warmth.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too loose or drafts are getting in
Utilize the hem adjusters with drawcords located at the bottom of the gilet. Pull them to tighten the fit around your waist, which will help seal out drafts and retain warmth.
Hood feels uncomfortable or is not needed
The hood is detachable. Unzip it from the collar of the gilet to remove it. This allows for a sleeker look and greater versatility.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or graphite from a pencil) to the zipper teeth. Operate the zipper gently up and down to distribute the lubricant.
