FAQs
What is ProTek technology?
ProTek technology is a treatment applied to the fabric that provides a water-repellent shield, helping to protect against light rain and moisture.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
The gilet offers water-repellent protection, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I know if the size is right for me?
The gilet features a regular fit. It is recommended to check the size chart provided by Castore or compare measurements with your current apparel. Given it's designed for movement, a slight ease in the fit is typical.
Can I wear this gilet for activities other than golf?
While engineered for golf, the lightweight, water-repellent, and flexible nature of the gilet makes it suitable for other outdoor activities like walking, training, or casual wear in mild, damp conditions.
What is the material composition?
The gilet is made from a blend of 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane.
How should I clean the gilet to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Ensure the garment is clean. Wash using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade water-repellent finishes. Consider a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical apparel if performance does not return.
Fabric feels stiff or less flexible
Check washing instructions. Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or bleach. Tumble drying on a low setting can sometimes help restore softness. Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
