Product Information

Full details

This men's gilet is designed for adult males seeking an adaptable outer layer for unpredictable weather. Its primary benefit is providing core warmth and weather protection without restricting arm movement, though its sleeveless design means it's best suited for milder conditions or as a mid-layer. Constructed from a microfleece softshell with stretch, it features H2OShield technology for water resistance, windproofing, and insulation, along with a stand-up collar and multiple zip pockets.

FAQs

What is H2OShield technology?

H2OShield is a fabric technology that provides a durable water-repellent finish and wind-resistant properties, helping to protect you from light rain and wind chill.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing information provided. For this gilet, Size S corresponds to a 38-inch chest measurement. It's recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart provided (S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 43 in, XL: 46 in, XXL: 49 in, 3XL: 52 in).

Can this gilet be worn in heavy rain?

The gilet has a durable water-repellent finish and is wind-resistant, making it suitable for light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear it as a layer under a fully waterproof outer shell.

How do I clean the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry.

Is the gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides insulation and wind resistance, making it suitable for cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer, worn over thermal clothing and under a heavy winter jacket.

What is the material composition?

The gilet is made from 76% Recycled Polyester, 21% Polyester, and 3% Elastane. The fabric type is Microfleece Softshell with stretch.

Does it have a hood?

No, this gilet features a fused stand-up collar and does not have a hood.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently run a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Wash the gilet according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes, or apply a DWR re-proofer spray as per its instructions.

Gilet feels less insulating than expected.

Ensure the gilet is clean, as dirt can compress the fibers and reduce insulation. For colder conditions, layer the gilet over a warmer base or mid-layer.
