FAQs

What type of insulation does the Carlotte Gilet use?

The gilet uses Warmloft synthetic insulation, designed to mimic the warmth and loft of down while being lightweight and effective when damp.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is suitable for light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer over the gilet.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The specific model mentioned is a UK size 8, but other sizes are available.

Can I put this gilet in the washing machine?

Yes, the gilet can be machine washed at 30°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What is the gilet made of?

The main body is made from lightweight 20d polyamide fabric (37gsm), and the insulation is Warmloft synthetic, weighing 120gsm.

Does the gilet have internal pockets?

Yes, it features one internal security pocket for valuables and two lower zipped pockets for hand warmth or storage.

Troubleshooting

Gilet not providing enough warmth

Ensure the gilet is layered appropriately over other warm clothing for colder conditions. The insulation is designed for moderate warmth.

Water-repellency seems reduced

The water-repellent finish can degrade over time. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray for synthetic fabrics following product instructions.

Zipper is sticking

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Material feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness.
