FAQs

What is the primary material of the gilet?

The primary material is polyester borg fleece, with a fabric weight of 270 gsm.

How many pockets does the gilet have, and are they secure?

The gilet features three zipped pockets: one chest pocket and two lower pockets, providing secure storage.

What kind of fit can I expect?

The gilet features stretch binding on the armholes and hem, designed to provide a close and comfortable fit.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides good core warmth, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather. It is not designed as a primary insulator for extreme cold.

Does the gilet offer sun protection?

Yes, it offers UV shielding with a UPF 50+ rating, protecting your skin from harmful sun rays.

How should I clean the gilet?

The gilet can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleaching and high heat in the dryer or iron. Do not dry clean.

Is the fabric waterproof?

The fabric is described as air-permeable for ventilation, but it is not rated as waterproof. It is suitable for dry or lightly damp conditions, but not heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the stretch binding is not overly stretched. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size. The stretch binding is designed for a close fit, so some initial snugness is normal.

Zippers are stiff.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Fabric feels less soft after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. Consider using a fabric conditioner designed for synthetic fabrics during the wash cycle.
