Product Information

Full details

This EA7 gilet is designed for adult males seeking a warm, versatile, and stylish outerwear option for both sport and leisure. Its key benefit is its ability to provide substantial warmth from goose down padding while remaining lightweight and fully packable for convenience. A minor consideration is its focus on male adults, limiting broader appeal for other demographics. This sleeveless vest features a stand-up collar, front zip fastening, and practical side pockets, all finished with a contrasting EA7 logo.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?

The gilet is very warm due to its goose down padding, but as it is sleeveless, it is best suited for mild to cool weather or as a layering piece under a heavier jacket for extreme cold.

How do I properly pack the gilet?

Gently fold the gilet and place it into the provided dust bag. Avoid stuffing it forcefully to maintain the integrity of the down.

Can I wash this gilet in a regular washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it cold (30°C). Ensure all zippers are closed and use a gentle cycle. It's recommended to wash it separately.

What is the best way to dry the gilet after washing?

Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Adding clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer helps to re-fluff the down and prevent it from clumping.

What does 'packable' mean in the product description?

'Packable' means the gilet is designed to be compressed and folded into a small size, typically for easy storage in a backpack or luggage without taking up much space.

What material is the padding made of?

The padding is made of goose down, which provides excellent warmth and insulation.

Does it have a hood?

No, this model features a stand-up collar but does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Gilet has lost its loft/puffiness

Ensure the gilet is clean and dry. Place it in a tumble dryer on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. This will help break up any clumps and restore the loft of the down.

Down feathers are leaking through the fabric

Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside. Minor leakage can occur, but significant leakage may indicate a fabric defect. Do not pull hard on the feather as this can enlarge the hole.

Zipper is stuck

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If still stuck, try rubbing a graphite pencil lead on the teeth of the zipper to lubricate it.
