FAQs
What is the primary material of this gilet?
The gilet is primarily made of high-quality recycled polyester, with Thermore padding for insulation.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?
While the Thermore padding provides excellent insulation, for extremely cold or sub-zero temperatures, this gilet is best used as a layering piece under a heavier, more protective outer jacket.
How should I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Does the gilet have a hood?
No, this gilet features a stand collar for neck protection, but it does not have a hood.
What does 'Thermore padding' mean?
Thermore padding is a type of synthetic insulation designed to provide warmth and comfort similar to down, but with the advantage of maintaining insulating properties even when damp.
Can this gilet be worn for intense sports activities?
Yes, its lightweight design and sleeveless construction make it suitable for certain sports activities where core warmth is needed without restricting arm movement. However, for very high-intensity activities in warmer weather, it might be too warm.
What is the fit of this gilet?
The gilet features a regular fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement, suitable for layering over other garments.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Consult the EA7 size guide for accurate measurements and consider ordering a different size if necessary. The regular fit is designed for comfort, but individual body shapes may vary.
Reduced thermal performance after washing
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid fabric softeners and excessive heat during drying, as these can degrade the Thermore padding's effectiveness.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. If it persists, gently try to wiggle the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can sometimes lubricate the teeth.
