Full details

Its lightweight construction and breathable mesh lining make it perfect for transitional weather, whether you are heading out for a vigorous outdoor activity or commuting through unpredictable conditions.

FAQs
Is the Brisley Gilet waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and mist. It is not designed to be a fully waterproof jacket for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
Yes, it is designed for layering; however, ensure the gilet size provides enough room to prevent restriction of your shoulders.
Does it have pockets?
The Brisley design focuses on a sleek, lightweight profile for layering; check the specific interior/exterior labels for current pocket configurations.
How should I wash it to keep it effective?
Use a gentle, non-biological detergent and avoid fabric conditioners or bleach, which can damage the water-repellent finish.
Is this gilet suitable for winter?
It is best used as a layering piece in mild to cool conditions. In deep winter, you may need additional thermal layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray treatment.
Stiff or uncomfortable fit during activity
Check that the base layer underneath is not too bulky and that you have selected the appropriate size for your movement requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Brisley Gilet is ready to wear straight out of the box. To maintain the performance of the water-repellent coating, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent treatment.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, use a low-heat setting.
- Re-treatment: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can refresh this by applying a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for outdoor apparel.
- Storage: Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing it in a dark, cool place to prevent mold or odors.
