FAQs
What is ThermaFIT ADV technology?
ThermaFIT ADV technology combines heat-regulating fabric with advanced engineering and features to help keep you warm in cold-weather conditions without overheating.
What type of insulation does this gilet use?
The gilet uses a combination of lightweight synthetic AeroLoft insulation and eco down fill for warmth and insulation.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers or mist. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Use liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat.
What does the 'droptail' design mean?
The droptail design refers to the hem at the back of the gilet being longer than the front, providing extended coverage and warmth for the lower back.
Are there any reflective elements on the gilet?
Yes, there is a reflective Swoosh logo on the chest and a reflective bar on the back hem to help you be seen in low-light conditions.
Can I wear this over a thick sweater?
While it can be layered, this gilet is designed for lightweight warmth. For best fit and mobility, it's recommended to layer it over t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, or lighter sweaters.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to pull the zipper tab upwards while wiggling the fabric around the teeth. If still stuck, apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth and try again.
Reduced water repellency after washing
Ensure no fabric softener was used. Wash again with a technical wash cleaner designed for outdoor gear and tumble dry on low heat. Consider reapplying a DWR spray as per the product instructions.
Insulation feels lumpy
After washing, tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up any clumps and restore loft to the insulation.
