FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides warmth through synthetic fill, making it ideal for transitional seasons. For extreme cold, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer clothing.

How do I detach or attach the hood?

The hood is attached or detached using the zipper located around the neckline of the gilet. Carefully align the hood's zipper with the gilet's zipper and zip them together or apart.

What is the best way to clean the gilet?

Machine wash cold with like colours and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What does 'waterproof' mean for this gilet?

The gilet's nylon shell is designed to resist water penetration during light to moderate rainfall. It is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

What size should I order?

This guide is for the Medium size. Please refer to the brand's specific size chart for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary.

Can I wear this gilet for sports activities?

The gilet is lightweight and allows for freedom of movement, making it suitable for casual outdoor activities. However, for high-intensity sports, dedicated activewear may offer better breathability.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Waterproof coating seems reduced

Re-apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for nylon garments. Follow the product's instructions carefully.

Gilet has lost some loft/warmth

Check care label instructions for washing and drying. Ensure it was dried correctly (tumble dry on low or air dry) to help redistribute the synthetic fill.

Pros and Cons

  • Stylish design suitable for casual wear.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for extreme cold.
  • Sizing may vary, so checking measurements is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This gilet is designed as a layering piece. It pairs well with t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, and hoodies. It can be worn under heavier winter coats for added insulation.
