Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is water-repellent and wind-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.

What is the material composition?

It is made from 97% recycled polyester and 3% elastane.

Can I machine wash this?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cool cycle, but avoid fabric softeners.

Does it have a hood?

No, this model features a high neck design without a hood.

Is the material stretchy?

Yes, the addition of 3% elastane provides a comfortable stretch for active use.

Does it have internal pockets?

No, it features two external side pockets with zip closures.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider re-treating the garment with a technical DWR wash-in product.

Zip feels stiff or sticks during use.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently clean any dirt or grit from the slider with a soft brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of freedom of movement for the arms
  • Eco-friendly fabric composition using recycled materials
  • Effective wind and light moisture resistance
  • Soft, comfortable microfleece interior for insulation
  • Secure zippered pockets for utility

Cons

  • No hood for head protection
  • Limited to core insulation, not suitable for extreme cold
  • Lacks internal security pockets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the garment, wash it on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the H2OShield and water-repellent finish. The gilet is highly compatible with base layers such as moisture-wicking long sleeves or mid-weight fleeces. For optimal weatherproofing, ensure the full-length zip is fully fastened to prevent heat escape from the chest area. When not in use, the gilet packs down efficiently, making it an excellent space-saving addition to a rucksack.
