FAQs

Is the Trespass Aretha Gilet waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproof or water-resistant properties. It is primarily designed for warmth. For protection in rainy conditions, we recommend wearing a separate waterproof outer shell over the gilet.

What kind of weather is this gilet suitable for?

This gilet is ideal for cool to mild weather conditions, acting as a lightweight insulating layer. It can be worn alone on crisp days or as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket in colder temperatures.

How do I attach/detach the hood?

The hood is attached and detached using stud fastenings located along the neckline. Simply align the studs on the hood with those on the gilet and press firmly to secure, or pull gently to release.

Can I machine wash this gilet?

Yes, it is generally safe to machine wash the gilet. We recommend washing it on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors and using a mild detergent. Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions.

Are the pockets big enough for a smartphone?

The two low-profile zip pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials. Most standard smartphones should fit comfortably, but larger models might be a snug fit. Always check the pocket size with your specific phone before relying on it.

Does this gilet provide good wind protection?

The gilet features an inner storm flap behind the main zip, which significantly helps to block wind from penetrating through the front closure. While the fabric itself offers some wind resistance, it is not fully windproof.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm than expected.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed, including the inner storm flap. Adjust the hem cord to seal in warmth. Consider layering with a thermal base layer or a heavier mid-layer underneath in colder conditions.

Hood keeps falling off or feels insecure.

Check that all stud fastenings connecting the hood to the gilet are securely pressed into place. Ensure the hood is correctly aligned before fastening.

Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.

Hold the fabric taut on both sides of the zipper to reduce tension. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently pull it free. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and non-bulky for easy layering
  • Detachable hood adds versatility for different weather conditions
  • Secure zipped pockets protect essentials
  • Inner storm flap enhances warmth and wind protection
  • Adjustable hem for a custom, snug fit

Cons

  • 100% Polyester material may not offer breathability of natural fibers
  • Light padding is suitable for cool, not extreme cold, temperatures
  • Does not specify waterproof or water-resistant properties, likely needs an outer layer in rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put on and adjust to your comfort. The gilet requires no special setup. If you wish to use the hood, ensure it is securely fastened with the stud attachments.

Compatibility

This gilet is designed for versatility:

  • Layering: Excellent as a mid-layer over base layers or light sweaters. Can be comfortably worn under heavier coats or waterproof shells for added warmth without bulk.
  • Weather: Best suited for cool to mild conditions. For colder or wet weather, pair it with appropriate base layers and a waterproof outer jacket.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Trespass Aretha Gilet remains in optimal condition, follow these general care guidelines (always check the specific care label on your garment for definitive instructions):

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid hot water, which can damage the padding and fabric.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the fabric's properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry flat to maintain the gilet's shape and padding loft. Do not wring. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can melt or damage the synthetic polyester fabric and padding.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
