FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this softshell gilet?

Its primary purpose is to provide core warmth and protection from wind and light showers, serving as an effective mid or top layer for outdoor activities.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, the gilet has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish which repels light showers. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged rain.

How do I wash the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet at 40°C. It's important to fasten zips before washing and wash dark colours separately. Do not bleach.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

It is designed for cooler conditions and provides core warmth. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over insulating garments.

What material is the gilet made of?

The gilet is made from 100% polyester softshell fabric on the outer and has a polyester microfleece lining.

How should I care for the DWR finish?

To maintain the Durable Water Repellent finish, follow the washing instructions carefully. Over time, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment to restore its water-repelling capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. If it's consistently too tight, consider if a larger size is needed.

Water is soaking through during light rain.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Follow care instructions and consider a DWR re-proofing treatment.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure zips are clear of debris. Gently pull them back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help.
