FAQs
What is Thermore padding?
Thermore is a brand of synthetic insulation designed to provide warmth similar to down but with better performance when wet and is often more compressible.
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made of technical fabric and is suitable for light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart. Consider measuring your chest and waist and comparing those measurements to the chart. The 'XS' in the product title refers to Extra Small.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This gilet provides moderate warmth due to its Thermore padding. It is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather.
What does the 'Shield' refer to in the product name?
The 'Shield' likely refers to the EA7 shield logo patch that is a design element on the garment.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, this gilet is available in other colors such as Blue, Black, and White, as well as different sizes. Please check product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a pencil lead (graphite) or a bit of wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Seams are fraying
If minor fraying occurs, trim loose threads carefully with scissors. For significant fraying, professional repair may be needed. Ensure proper washing and drying to prevent this.
Material feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a cool wash cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect technical fabrics.
