FAQs

What is ProTek technology?

ProTek technology is Castore's proprietary fabric treatment that provides water resistance, helping to protect the wearer from light rain and moisture.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet is engineered for warmth and protection in cool conditions. While it offers insulated baffling for heat retention, it is best suited for moderate cold and may require layering for significantly colder temperatures.

How do I wash the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet cold with like colors. Avoid bleach, and either tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean.

What material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from 100% polyamide (Nylon).

Can I store my phone in the gilet?

Yes, the gilet features an internal chest pocket and zip side pockets, which are suitable for securely storing a phone or other small essentials.

What does 'hybrid' refer to in the product name?

The 'hybrid' aspect refers to the combination of different functional elements: water-resistant fabric, insulated panels for warmth, and a sleeveless design for mobility, creating a versatile piece for training.

Does the gilet have a hood?

No, this specific model features a stand-up collar for neck protection and does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Water resistance seems reduced after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade water-repellent finishes. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance continues to be an issue after proper washing.

Gilet feels tight across the shoulders

Verify you have selected the correct size. While designed for movement, a snug fit in the shoulders is normal. If it restricts movement significantly, consider if a larger size is needed, though ensure it doesn't become too loose overall.
