FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?

The Langtree gilet is designed for transitional seasons. While it offers warmth, it is lightweight and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold without additional layering.

What does 'showerproof' mean?

Showerproof means the garment can withstand light rain or brief showers. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and may not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy downpours.

How do I clean the gilet?

Follow the care label instructions, which typically involve a gentle machine wash at a low temperature (around 30°C) and low heat tumble dry or air dry.

Can I wear this gilet over a thick jumper?

The gilet is intended to be lightweight. While it can be worn over thinner jumpers or shirts, wearing it over a very thick jumper might feel restrictive.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The zipped hand pockets are designed to securely hold essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones should fit, but very large models may be a tight squeeze.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from a comfortable polyamide fabric.

Troubleshooting

Gilet doesn't feel warm enough

Consider layering over a warmer base or adding a heavier outer layer for colder conditions.

Water seeping through fabric during heavy rain

This gilet is showerproof, not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.

Zip feels stiff

Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it persists, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth.

Care label instructions are unclear

Refer to standard garment care for polyamide fabrics: generally, gentle machine wash at low temperatures and air dry or low tumble dry.
