Product Information
Full details
The Lyle & Scott Lightweight Ripstop Gilet is designed for adult males seeking versatile layering for changing conditions. Its key benefit is providing lightweight protection and structure without adding bulk. A potential caveat is its focus on layering, meaning it's not intended as a primary heavy-duty outerwear piece. This gilet features durable ripstop construction, a comfortable regular fit for easy layering, and a practical zip front, all finished with the signature embroidered eagle logo.

It is recommended to machine wash the gilet cold with similar colours, avoid bleach, and either tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean.
Is this gilet waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. It is designed for light protection and layering, not as primary rainwear.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull it away. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil lead or wax along the teeth to lubricate it.
Gilet appears too large or small
Please refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer to ensure you have selected the correct size. Note that this gilet is designed for layering, so a slightly roomier fit is intended.
Seams are fraying
Check the care label for washing instructions. Ensure the garment is washed according to guidelines. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully with scissors.
