FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet is designed for warmth and insulation, not as a waterproof shell. It is best used for dry, cool weather or as an under-layer beneath a waterproof jacket.

Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?

Because this is a slim-fit model, wearing a very thick hoodie underneath may feel restrictive. It is best layered over thinner long-sleeve shirts or knitwear.

How do I pack it correctly?

Roll the vest tightly starting from the collar down to the hem, then secure it if using a provided bag or simply fold it carefully to preserve the loft.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The EA7 Core Identity Gilet is a slim-fit garment. If you prefer a more relaxed feel, consider ordering one size larger than your standard shirt size.

Can this be machine washed?

Yes, but use a mild, down-specific detergent and a delicate wash cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the down's insulating properties.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers poking through fabric

This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out completely.

The gilet has lost its loft after being packed

Give the garment a vigorous shake and tumble it on a low-heat setting for 10-15 minutes to redistribute the down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy to layer
  • Provides substantial core warmth without bulk
  • Elasticized hem ensures a snug, athletic fit
  • Streamlined design suitable for casual and active settings

Cons

  • Slim-fit cut may feel tight for some body types
  • Down insulation requires specific laundry care
  • Limited coverage compared to full-sleeve jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of the down insulation, store the gilet in a dry environment and avoid keeping it compressed for extended periods of time. For cleaning, follow the care label strictly; generally, down garments should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a specialized down detergent and tumble dried with clean tennis balls to help fluff the feathers. Ensure the garment is completely dry to prevent odors or clumping of the down.
