Product Information
Full details
The EA7 Packable Gilet in green is a versatile, slim-fit layer designed for men seeking lightweight insulation without excessive bulk. Perfect for transitional weather or as an under-layer during colder outings, this garment provides essential warmth through high-quality down padding. While its streamlined, packable nature makes it an excellent travel companion, users should note that the slim-fit cut may require careful sizing selection to accommodate heavier base layers.

FAQs
Is the EA7 gilet water-resistant?
While the fabric offers some resistance to light mist, it is not fully waterproof and should be paired with a shell in heavy rain.
What does 'slim-fit' mean for sizing?
It means the garment is cut closer to the body; if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle specifically for down products.
Is the hood included?
No, this specific model is a sleeveless waistcoat/gilet design without a hood.
How packable is it really?
The material is designed to be highly compressible, often shrinking down to the size of a small pouch, making it perfect for luggage or small daypacks.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is common with down garments; do not pull the feather. Push it back in from the other side and gently rub the fabric to close the hole.
Gilet feels flat after unpacking
Shake the gilet vigorously or tumble dry on a low-heat, air-fluff setting to redistribute the down and regain volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, follow these care guidelines:
- Storage: Avoid storing the gilet in a compressed state for long periods; hang it in a cool, dry place to allow the down to loft properly.
- Cleaning: Consult the interior care label. Generally, down items should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a specialized down detergent and tumble-dried with clean tennis balls to restore the fill's fluffiness.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs best with moisture-wicking base layers or lightweight knit sweaters due to the slim-fit construction.
- Handling: Avoid exposure to sharp objects that could puncture the outer fabric and cause down leakage.
