Can the fit be adjusted?

What materials is the gilet made from?

Troubleshooting
Gilet does not feel warm enough
Layer the gilet over a warmer base layer or a thicker jumper for increased insulation.
Water seeping through in heavy rain
This gilet is showerproof, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof jacket. Ensure all zips and poppers are fully closed.
Fit feels too loose or too tight
Utilize the elasticated back channel with popper-adjusted tabs to customize the fit at the waist. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fabric appears creased after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. If necessary, iron on a low setting on the reverse side.
