Product Information
Full details
The EA7 Core Identity Packable Gilet in Green is a lightweight, slim-fit layering piece designed for active adult men who need extra core insulation without the restriction of a full jacket. Perfect for transitional weather or as a mid-layer under heavier coats, its down padding provides excellent warmth-to-weight performance, though users should note that the slim-fit cut may feel tighter than standard activewear garments.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is designed for insulation and is not classified as waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in heavy rain.
What does the slim-fit size mean?
Slim-fit means the garment is cut closer to the body. If you prefer a looser fit for layering heavy sweaters underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
How do I pack the gilet for travel?
The gilet is designed to be folded or stuffed into its own pocket or a small compression sack to save space in your luggage.
Can I wash this in a standard machine?
While machine washing is possible, always use a gentle cycle, cool water, and a specialized down detergent to prevent clumping.
Is the green color vibrant?
The green colorway is designed to be a stylish, muted tone suitable for versatile wardrobe pairing.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers leaking through fabric
This is common with high-loft down. If a feather pokes through, pull it back in from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Gilet losing loft or looking flat
Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to fluff the down padding back to its original state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, please follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a wide-shouldered hanger when not in use to preserve the loft of the down padding.
- Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer's care label, typically involving a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent to avoid damaging the insulation.
- Layering: This gilet is compatible with most standard-fit mid-layers but performs best when worn over tighter-fitting base layers to maximize heat retention.
- Handling: Avoid storing the item compressed for extended periods to maintain the down's ability to trap air effectively.
