FAQs

What is the main benefit of the H2OShield technology?

H2OShield technology, combined with the DWR finish, provides the gilet with wind resistance and protection against light rain and showers.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet is insulating and wind-resistant, making it a good mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear additional warm layers underneath.

How do I know which size to order?

Please refer to the sizing information provided. Chest measurements are typically used for gilets. For example, size M fits a 40-inch chest, and L fits a 43-inch chest.

Can I wear this gilet in heavy rain?

The gilet has a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide sufficient protection in heavy or prolonged rain.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from a microfleece softshell fabric, consisting of 76% Recycled Polyester, 21% Polyester, and 3% Elastane.

How should I wash the gilet to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, wash with similar colours, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

Re-apply a DWR treatment to the fabric following the product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-application.

Gilet feels stiff or loses softness.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the pull tab back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
