Core Identity packable gilet - EA7 - Black

The gilet features goose down padding, offering excellent lightweight warmth for cool to moderately cold conditions. It's designed as a versatile layering piece rather than a heavy winter coat, providing core insulation.

The gilet is made from polyester and has goose down insulation, which is not inherently waterproof. It offers minimal resistance to light moisture but is not suitable for heavy rain. It's best worn under a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.

Being 'packable' means the gilet is designed to compress easily into a small, convenient size, typically into its own integrated pocket or a provided dust bag. This makes it ideal for travel, hiking, or carrying in a bag for unexpected temperature changes.

It is recommended to wash down-filled garments gently. Use a front-loading washing machine on a delicate cycle with cold water and a specialized down-wash detergent. Crucially, tumble dry on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls until completely dry to restore loft.

Sizes are generally consistent with standard men's apparel. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult the brand's size chart if available, or consider your usual size for layering items.

Yes, the EA7 Core Identity Packable Gilet comes with a dedicated dust bag, allowing you to easily pack and store it when not in use or for travel.

Goose down can compress during storage or transit. Gently shake the gilet and allow it to air out for several hours, or tumble dry on low heat with a few tennis balls to help the down regain its loft and insulating properties.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try moving the slider slowly and evenly. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or beeswax) to the teeth can also improve smooth operation.

This often indicates the down is not completely dry. Tumble dry again on low heat with dryer balls for an extended period until the gilet is thoroughly dry. Ensure no moisture remains inside the down clusters.

Ensure the gilet is fully deflated of air before rolling or folding. Start from the bottom hem and roll it tightly and evenly towards the top. For best results, fold it in half lengthwise before rolling to match the width of the bag.
