FAQs
Is the Trespass Leona Gilet fully waterproof?
The gilet features a storm flap for 'weather defense,' meaning it offers resistance against wind and light rain or drizzle. However, it is not described as fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy downpours.
What material is the gilet made from?
The Trespass Leona Gilet is crafted from Pongee Fabric with a Taffeta lining, both of which are types of polyester.
How should I wash my gilet?
General care for polyester includes machine washing cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors, using a mild detergent, and tumble drying on low heat or air drying to preserve the fabric and padding. Always check the garment's specific care label for detailed instructions.
Does it have inner pockets?
The product description mentions '2 convenient pockets.' It does not specify if these are internal or external. Based on typical gilet designs, these are most likely external, hand-warmer style pockets.
What kind of activities is this gilet best suited for?
The Leona Gilet is ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, or simply casual everyday wear in cooler weather. Its design prioritizes core warmth, mobility, and comfort.
Can I wear this gilet in winter?
Yes, the gilet can be worn in winter, especially as a crucial mid-layer for added insulation under a heavier winter coat or shell. It provides excellent core warmth but will need to be paired with other warm layers for full protection in very cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too bulky or restrictive over my existing layers.
Ensure your base layers are not excessively thick. The gilet is designed to fit comfortably over standard tops or thin sweaters. If still bulky, consider sizing up or choosing thinner under-layers.
My head feels cold even with the hood up.
Utilize the hood ties to tighten the hood around your face for a snugger fit, which will help retain warmth. For extreme cold, a hat worn underneath the hood can provide additional insulation.
The gilet doesn't seem to keep me warm enough.
The Leona Gilet provides core warmth as a layering piece. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath and consider adding a mid-layer (like a fleece) beneath the gilet, or a windproof/waterproof outer shell over it.
My items keep falling out of the pockets.
The gilet includes two convenient pockets. While practical, they are not designed for overly bulky or heavy items. For secure storage of valuables, use zipped pockets in other garments or a small bag. Avoid overfilling the gilet's pockets.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Leona Gilet, follow these general care guidelines for polyester outerwear. (Specific care instructions can often be found on the garment's label).
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the polyester fibers and padding.
