Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Men's Seasons II Padded Gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and warm layering piece for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing core warmth and insulation without restricting arm movement, thanks to its sleeveless design and microfibre filling. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may require additional protection. This gilet features a durable nylon shell, a high-neck design for added protection, two practical side pockets, and a full zip fastening.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the microfibre filling?

The microfibre filling provides excellent warmth and insulation, trapping body heat to keep you comfortable in cool conditions.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

No, the gilet has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish which is effective against light rain and moisture. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a fully waterproof outer layer over the gilet.

How should I wash the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C) and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Can I wear this gilet in very cold temperatures?

The gilet provides good warmth for moderate cold. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a warmer jacket or coat.

What does the high-neck design offer?

The high-neck design provides increased protection against wind and cold drafts, contributing to overall warmth and comfort.

How many pockets does the gilet have?

The gilet is equipped with two practical side pockets.

What is the material of the shell and filling?

The shell is made of durable Nylon, and the filling is made of Microfibre.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm than expected

Ensure the microfibre filling is not compressed. Check that the DWR finish is intact; if diminished, consider re-proofing. Ensure it is fully dry after washing.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the gilet and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment according to the product instructions.

Zip is sticking or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zip up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zip teeth to help it slide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zip.

Pilling or snagging on the fabric

Minor pilling can occur with wear. For snags, carefully trim any loose threads with scissors to prevent further damage. Avoid abrasive surfaces.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or 86°F).

  • Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, consider using a DWR re-proofing spray after several washes, following the product's instructions.
