FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant, designed to handle light rain and wind, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy storm conditions.
Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
While you can layer it, it is designed for a performance fit; layering over bulky items may restrict movement.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle. Do not bleach and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester material is designed for comfort and ease of movement, though it is engineered primarily for thermal protection.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The side pockets are designed for small essentials like keys and small gels; a large modern smartphone may be a tight fit depending on the model.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for loose threads or fabric caught in the teeth, and ensure the zipper path is clear of debris.
Water-repellency seems to be fading
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time; consider using a technical garment wash-in re-proofer to restore effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, always follow the garment's care label instructions. Given the water-resistant treatment on the shell, it is recommended to wash the item in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance of the technical polyester and the water-resistant coating. When storing, keep the gilet in a cool, dry place and ensure zippers are fully closed to prevent snagging on other items. This garment is designed to layer perfectly over ASICS thermal long-sleeve tops or compression gear for a complete winter running system.
