FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet features a 100% Polyamide shell with an AC coating, which provides a degree of water resistance, meaning it can repel light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.

What is 'bubble stitching'?

'Bubble stitching' refers to the pattern of stitching that creates small, puffed-up sections or 'bubbles' in the padded fabric, giving it a distinctive quilted appearance.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the Trespass Womens Chest Sizing chart provided (e.g., S/10 - 34in/86cm, M/12 - 36in/91.4cm, L/14 - 38in/96.5cm). Measure your chest circumference at the fullest part to find your best fit. If you plan to layer heavily, you might consider sizing up.

Can I machine wash the gilet?

Yes, the gilet is typically machine washable. We recommend washing it cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Always check the care label inside your specific gilet for detailed instructions.

How do I reattach the hood?

The hood attaches with stud fasteners. Simply align the studs on the hood with the corresponding receivers on the gilet's collar and press them together firmly until they click into place.

Is this gilet suitable for winter?

The Trespass Aretha Gilet is lightly padded, making it ideal for spring, autumn, or mild winter days as a layering piece. For very cold winter conditions, you would need to layer it with more substantial thermal clothing or wear a heavier, insulated outer jacket.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the gilet features two low-profile pockets with zip closures, providing secure storage for your small essentials like keys, phone, or wallet.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck.

Try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant along the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.

Gilet doesn't feel warm enough.

The Aretha gilet is lightly padded for casual, transitional weather. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath, or consider a heavier outer jacket.

Hood keeps detaching.

Ensure all studs are firmly fastened. Check if any studs are bent or damaged. If they are, contact customer support for advice. Make sure the hood isn't being pulled excessively.
