Full details
The Trespass Audrey Gilet is designed for adult females seeking a versatile, sleeveless layering piece. Its key benefit is providing core warmth and water-repellent protection in a stylish, hooded design. A potential caveat is its reliance on polyester materials which may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers. This gilet features a detachable fur trim, zip pockets, and a durable polyester shell with a TPU membrane, making it suitable for various weather conditions across all seasons.

FAQs
Is the fur trim on the hood real or faux?
The product description does not specify if the fur trim is real or faux. However, for care, it is often treated similarly to faux fur.
What does TPU membrane mean for the fabric?
A TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) membrane adds a layer to the fabric that enhances its water-repellent properties and wind resistance while aiming to maintain some breathability.
Can I wear this gilet in the snow?
The gilet offers water-repellent protection and insulation, making it suitable for light snow. However, for prolonged exposure to cold and wet conditions, it should be worn as part of a layering system with waterproof outer shells and additional insulation.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide for apparel, typically found on their website or the retailer's product page. Measurements like chest, waist, and hip circumference are usually required.
Is this gilet suitable for high-intensity sports?
Due to its polyester composition, it may not offer optimal breathability for very strenuous activities. It is better suited for moderate outdoor activities or casual wear where intense sweating is less likely.
How often should I reapply water repellent treatment?
The need for reapplication depends on usage and washing frequency. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up and starts to soak into the fabric. Typically, this might be after several washes or a season of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not repelling water effectively
The water-repellent finish may have worn off over time. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for polyester fabrics according to product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently rub a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth. Ensure there are no fabric obstructions.
Fur trim is matted or dirty
If detachable, hand wash the fur trim gently with mild soap and cold water, then air dry. If not detachable, spot clean carefully with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding soaking the main gilet fabric.
Gilet feels bulky when layered
Ensure you are layering with appropriate thickness. The gilet is designed to be a mid-layer; pair it with thinner base layers if significant bulk is an issue.
