FAQs

What kind of weather is this gilet best for?

This gilet is ideal for mild to cool weather, offering core warmth. It's suitable for days where you need an extra layer but not a full jacket, and its water-resistant feature offers protection from light drizzles.

Can I wash this gilet in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the gilet at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold temperatures?

While it provides good core warmth, it is lightweight and does not have insulated sleeves. For very cold temperatures, it is best used as a layering piece under a warmer jacket or coat.

What does 'PFC-Free' mean?

PFC-Free means that per- and polyfluorinated chemicals, which can be harmful to the environment, were not used in the manufacturing of this garment's water-resistant treatment.

How do I ensure the best fit for layering?

The gilet has a streamlined fit. If you plan to wear it over thick items, consider sizing up. Otherwise, choosing your regular size should allow for comfortable layering over t-shirts or thinner sweaters.

What are the care instructions for maintaining water resistance?

To maintain water resistance, avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting, which can help reactivate the water-repellent finish. Do not iron or dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight for layering

Consider ordering one size up if you intend to layer over bulkier items like thick sweaters or hoodies.

Water resistance is not as expected

The gilet is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended. Ensure the outer fabric is clean, as dirt can impact water repellency.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If problems persist, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help.
