FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Extol stretch panels?

The Extol stretch panels are designed to move with you, providing enhanced agility and a full range of motion, which is crucial for outdoor activities.

How effective is the water-repellent finish?

The finish repels light rain and moisture, keeping you drier in damp conditions. It is not a substitute for a waterproof jacket in heavy rain.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

The gilet provides core warmth but is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece under a warmer jacket in colder weather. It does not insulate the arms.

Is the insulation suitable for vegans?

Yes, the Warmloft insulation is a synthetic, down-touch alternative, making it suitable for vegans.

How should I care for the gilet to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low. Re-applying a DWR treatment after washing can help maintain water repellency.

What is the purpose of the zip pockets?

The zip pockets are designed to securely store your essential items such as keys, phone, or cards while you are on the move.

Is this gilet suitable for everyday wear or just outdoor activities?

The gilet is versatile and suitable for both outdoor activities like hiking and walking, as well as for everyday casual wear due to its comfortable and practical design.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. The Extol stretch panels should provide flexibility; if significant restriction occurs, the size may be too small.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing according to care instructions.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the teeth.

Insulation feels lumpy.

Gently shake the gilet to redistribute the Warmloft insulation. If the issue persists after washing and drying according to instructions, contact customer support.
