Product Information

Full details

The EA7 Core Identity Packable Gilet is designed for active adults seeking a warm, versatile, and stylish layering option. Its key benefit lies in combining goose down insulation with a packable design, making it ideal for both sport and casual wear. While highly functional, users should note that its lightweight nature makes it best suited as a mid-layer or for milder conditions, rather than extreme cold as a standalone outer layer.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The technical fabric offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof outer shell over the gilet.

What is "packable" about this gilet?

The gilet is designed to compress into a small size and can be stored in its included dust bag, making it very convenient for travel or carrying in a backpack.

How should I choose the right size?

We recommend checking the EA7 size guide for accurate measurements. This gilet is designed for a regular fit, allowing for layering underneath.

Can I wear this gilet in winter?

Yes, it can be worn in winter as a mid-layer under a heavier winter coat for added insulation. As a standalone outer layer, it is best suited for mild to cool winter days or active use.

Is the recycled nylon material durable?

Yes, the certified recycled nylon is engineered to be durable while also contributing to environmental sustainability. It offers good resistance to wear and tear for everyday use.

What is the fill power of the goose down?

Info needed: [fill power of goose down]

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the gilet features two front pockets with secure zipper closures, ideal for safely storing small personal items.

Troubleshooting

Gilet appears flat or less warm after washing.

This is common with down products. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls (like tennis balls) for an extended period (several hours), pausing periodically to fluff by hand. Ensure it is completely dry.

Zipper gets stuck or snags.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Try applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Small feathers are escaping from the fabric.

Occasional feather migration is normal for down products. For persistent issues, check for small holes or tears in the fabric and consider professional repair if necessary. Avoid pulling feathers out, as this can create larger openings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The EA7 Core Identity Packable Gilet requires no specific setup. Simply unpack it from its dust bag (if stored) and it's ready to wear.

Compatibility

This gilet is designed for optimal layering.

  • Outer Layer: Wear it over a long-sleeve shirt, a light sweater, or a hooded sweatshirt for added warmth in cool conditions.
  • Mid-Layer: For colder weather, it fits comfortably under a heavier waterproof jacket, a parka, or a winter coat, providing an extra insulating layer.
  • Activities: Suitable for various activities like walking, hiking, urban commuting, or as casual wear.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your gilet.

  1. Washing: Refer to the garment's internal care label for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and prevent clumping. Ensure it is thoroughly dry to prevent mildew. This may take several hours.
  3. Storage: When not in use, you can pack it into its provided dust bag for compact storage. For long-term storage, it's best to hang it loosely to allow the down to maintain its loft.
  4. Do Not: Bleach, iron, dry clean, or use fabric softener, as these can damage the down and technical fabric.
