FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The 'Light Cosi' Gilet is designed for lightweight warmth and is best suited for cooler, rather than extremely cold, conditions. It functions excellently as a layering piece under a warmer jacket for colder temperatures.
How effective is the water resistance?
The gilet features a water-resistant outer finish, which is effective against light drizzles and brief showers. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can I wear this gilet over a thick sweater?
While the gilet has a streamlined fit, it is best layered over thinner tops or mid-layers. Wearing it over a very thick sweater might feel constrictive.
What does 'PFC Free' mean?
'PFC Free' means the garment has been manufactured without the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in water-repellent treatments but can have environmental implications. This indicates a more eco-conscious manufacturing process.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by the retailer. This gilet is available in various UK women's dress sizes. Check the specific measurements to ensure a good fit.
What is the warranty period for this gilet?
Please refer to the retailer's or Animal's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels slightly damp after light rain.
This is normal if the water-resistant finish has been exposed to moisture for an extended period. Ensure the gilet is fully dry before storing. Re-applying a water-repellent treatment may be necessary after multiple washes if performance diminishes.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Padding appears uneven after washing.
Gently shake and pat the gilet to redistribute the padding. Ensure it was dried on a low heat setting or air-dried to prevent clumping. Follow care instructions precisely.
