Full details

Its primary benefit is providing warmth and comfort with a durable, anti-pilling fleece. A potential caveat is its unlined nature, which may require additional layers in colder climates. Key features include 100% polyester construction, a cadet collar, two zip pockets, and an adjustable bungee cord hem for a customizable fit.

FAQs

What type of fleece is used in this gilet?

The gilet is made from dense compact pile fleece with a weight of 320gsm, designed for warmth and durability.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides good insulation but is unlined. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer garments and under a protective outer jacket.

How do I clean the gilet to maintain its anti-pilling properties?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat, which can degrade the anti-pilling treatment over time.

What does 'Amfori, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex Certified, WRAP Certified' mean?

These certifications indicate that the product has been manufactured under conditions that meet ethical, social, and environmental standards, ensuring fair labor practices and responsible resource management.

Can the pockets be securely closed?

Yes, the gilet features two side pockets with zippers for secure storage of personal items.

Is the gilet waterproof?

No, the gilet is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation and breathability, not protection against rain.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fleece feels matted after washing

Check that you are using a gentle cycle and not overloading the washing machine. Ensure you are tumble drying on a low heat setting or air drying.

Adjustable hem cord is loose

Locate the cord lock mechanism near the hem. Press the release button or tab to tighten the cord and then release to secure the desired fit.
