Troubleshooting

Gilet does not feel warm enough

Ensure the gilet is zipped up fully and that the hood is attached if needed. For colder weather, layer a long-sleeved garment underneath.

Zipper is stiff

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny drop of silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Gilet has lost its shape

Check the care label and re-wash following the instructions. Ensure it is dried correctly, avoiding excessive heat.
