FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It will protect you from light rain and drizzle, but will not keep you dry in heavy or prolonged downpours.
Can I have my company logo added to this?
Yes, this gilet is specifically designed for printing and embroidery, making it an excellent choice for custom branding.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the two-layer construction allows for moisture vapor transmission, keeping you comfortable during physical activity.
Does it have an internal pocket?
This model features two lower external front zip pockets; it does not include internal stash pockets.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend checking the manufacturer's size guide and measuring your chest circumference to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear it over thicker layers.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The Texpel finish may be wearing off; consider using a technical garment re-proofer spray designed for water-resistant apparel.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check the inner zip guard for any fabric that may be caught. If clear, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a pencil lead along the zip teeth.
