Product Information
Full details
The Trespass Leona Gilet is designed for women who enjoy outdoor activities and seek a versatile, stylish layering piece. It excels at providing warmth and comfort in changing weather conditions, thanks to its insulated design and practical features. While it offers resistance against outdoor elements and is perfect for layering, it's important to remember it's a gilet, not a full waterproof jacket, and is best suited for milder temperatures or as part of a multi-layered system.

FAQs
Is the Trespass Leona Gilet waterproof?
The gilet features high-quality pongee fabric that offers resistance against outdoor elements, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzles. However, it is not fully waterproof and would not be sufficient for heavy downpours.
What seasons is this gilet best suited for?
It is ideally suited for transitional seasons such as spring and autumn, and for milder winter days. It functions excellently as a warm outer layer or a mid-layer under a heavier jacket in colder conditions.
Does the gilet have internal pockets?
The Trespass Leona Gilet is designed with two convenient external pockets, perfect for keeping small essentials accessible. It does not explicitly state the presence of internal pockets.
How do I choose the correct size?
The gilet is available in UK women's dress sizes. For the best fit, we recommend consulting the standard Trespass size guide, which provides detailed measurements for chest, waist, and hips. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when choosing your size.
Can I wear this gilet for active sports like running?
While it's suitable for light activity like walking or hiking, its primary design focus is warmth and comfort for casual to moderate outdoor use. For high-intensity running, you might prefer a more breathable and less insulated garment.
Troubleshooting
Gilet doesn't feel warm enough in cold conditions.
The Leona Gilet is designed as a layering piece. For very cold weather, ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath. Consider a heavier-weight sweater or fleece.
The hood feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the drawstring toggles on the grown-on hood to achieve your desired snugness. This allows for a custom fit and better protection against wind.
The gilet looks creased or wrinkled after storage.
Most minor wrinkles in polyester can be removed by hanging the gilet in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or by gently tumbling it in a dryer on a 'no heat' or 'air fluff' setting with a damp cloth for a few minutes. Do not iron directly.
