Product Information
Full details
This gilet is designed for adult males seeking a versatile layering piece for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing core warmth and water resistance without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for transitional weather. A potential caveat is that it's a sleeveless garment, so it relies on other layers for full warmth in very cold conditions. Key features include a durable nylon shell, microfibre insulation, a DWR finish, a high-neck design, and two side pockets.

FAQs
What is the primary function of this gilet?
The primary function is to provide core body warmth and some water resistance, making it ideal for layering in cool or transitional weather conditions without restricting arm movement.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
While it provides insulation, it is best suited for mild to cool temperatures on its own. For very cold weather, it is recommended to use it as a mid-layer beneath a warmer outer jacket.
How do I know what size to order?
The gilet sizes range from XXS (34 inches) up to 4XL (56 inches). Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer, considering the chest measurement for the best fit.
Can I wear this gilet in the rain?
The gilet features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides resistance against light rain and moisture. It is not a fully waterproof garment and may not withstand heavy downpours.
What material is the gilet made from?
The shell of the gilet is made from durable nylon, and it is filled with microfibre for warmth and insulation.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner or bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry.
Does this gilet have a hood?
No, this gilet features a high-neck design for wind protection but does not include a hood.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm after washing
Ensure the microfibre filling is properly dried. Tumble drying on a low heat can help re-fluff the insulation. Avoid fabric conditioners which can impair the insulation's loft.
Water repellency is reduced
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outdoor clothing after cleaning and drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth can help smooth its operation.
