Full details

Its key benefit is the dual functionality of lightweight, durable fabric combined with an anti-insect treatment.

FAQs
How long does the anti-insect treatment last?
The anti-insect treatment is designed to be durable, but its effectiveness can decrease with repeated washing. Please refer to the product's care label for specific information on wash longevity.
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can repel light rain and water. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.
Can I machine wash the gilet?
Yes, you can machine wash the gilet at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or biological powders.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The fabric weight is 120gsm (grams per square meter), making it lightweight and suitable for warm weather.
Does the gilet offer insulation?
This gilet is primarily designed for warmth and protection in warm climates and does not offer significant insulation. It is intended to be worn as a protective layer rather than a warming garment.
What is the purpose of the drawcord hem?
The drawcord hem allows you to adjust the fit of the gilet around the waist, helping to seal out wind or customize the fit for comfort and mobility.
Are the pockets secure?
The gilet features multi-patch pockets with velcro fastening and one zipped chest pocket, offering secure storage options for your essentials.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels restrictive when moving.
Ensure the drawcord hem is loosened to allow for maximum movement. Verify that the size purchased is appropriate.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Ensure zippers are fully closed to prevent water ingress.
Pockets are not secure.
Ensure the velcro fastenings are properly aligned and pressed down. For highly valuable items, use the zipped chest pocket.
Anti-insect treatment seems less effective.
The effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment diminishes over time and with washing. Consider using insect repellent spray in conjunction with the gilet for maximum protection. Refer to care instructions regarding washing to preserve treatment.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use biological powders or fabric softeners, as these can affect the DWR finish and anti-insect treatment.

- Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly over printed areas or the anti-insect treatment zones.
