Product Information
Full details
This EA7 Premium Shield technical-fabric gilet in Black, size XL, is designed for adult males seeking versatile outerwear for both sports and leisure activities. Its key benefit is the combination of technical fabric and Thermore2 padding for warmth and comfort, though it may offer less protection in extreme weather conditions compared to a full jacket. Key features include a front zip, stand collar, practical side pockets, and signature shield logo patch.

FAQs
What is Thermore2 padding?
Thermore2 is an advanced insulation technology designed to provide warmth and comfort without excessive bulk, making it suitable for active wear and layering.
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, this gilet is made from technical fabric and is not waterproof. It offers protection against light rain and wind but is not designed for heavy downpours.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by EA7. For this specific gilet (XL), it is designed for adult males. General fit is true to size, but consider layering needs when choosing.
Can I wear this in very cold winter weather?
While the Thermore2 padding offers warmth, this gilet is best suited for moderate to cool conditions. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing or wear a heavier jacket.
How should I store the gilet when not in use?
Store the gilet folded or hung in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods to maintain the integrity of the padding.
Does the logo patch require special care?
Yes, avoid direct high heat ironing on the logo patch. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron around the patch.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Padding feels lumpy after washing
Ensure the gilet was air-dried flat and not put in a tumble dryer. Gently reshape the padding by hand while damp.
Fabric has minor scuffs
For light scuffs on the technical fabric, use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
