Full details

Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to its lightweight filling and quilted design.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is designed for insulation and breathability, and may require a waterproof outer layer in heavy rain.

What type of insulation does it use?

It uses Warmloft insulation, which is a synthetic, lightweight filling designed to provide excellent heat retention similar to down.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

It is suitable for moderate to cool weather as a primary layer or a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it under a heavier, insulated jacket or coat.

How do I clean the gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, using a non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

What are the pocket types?

The gilet features two lower pockets and one chest pocket, all secured with zippers for safe storage.

What does 'Extol Stretch' mean?

Extol Stretch refers to the fabric technology used, incorporating stretch panels and binding that enhance flexibility and freedom of movement.

Is this gilet suitable for athletic performance?

Yes, its breathable and stretchable design makes it suitable for moderate athletic activities where insulation and mobility are important, such as hiking or trail running in cooler weather.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is flat around it. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Gilet feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting. You may need to gently break up clumps of insulation by hand once dry to restore loft and warmth.

Sizing feels incorrect.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the gilet is worn over appropriate layers for a true fit assessment.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gilet:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Use a non-biological detergent.
