FAQs

Is this gilet windproof?

No, the focus is on maximum breathability. While it blocks some airflow, it is not a windproof shell and works best when layered under a jacket in very windy conditions.

How packable is it?

The garment is extremely packable and weighs only 75g, making it easy to store in a small jersey pocket or a compact backpack pouch.

Can I wash this in a machine?

Yes, machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying.

Is the fit true to size?

It is designed for a close-to-body, athletic fit to ensure the fabric remains breathable and effective against your skin or base layer.

What temperature range is this best for?

It is designed as an all-season piece. It is perfect for cool mornings or high-intensity activity in colder weather where you need to manage core temperature without overheating.

Troubleshooting

The gilet feels damp after heavy exertion

This is a sign the material is successfully wicking moisture away from your body; ensure you are wearing a high-quality moisture-wicking base layer underneath to move that moisture to the gilet's surface.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Check the zip teeth for debris or lint. Clean gently with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a close-to-body, athletic fit. Choose your standard size for the intended layering performance. To ensure the longevity of the Primaloft Evolve fibers, wash the gilet in cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce its breathability. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the high-stretch synthetic fibers. Ensure the YKK zip is fully closed when laundering to maintain the integrity of the teeth.
