Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The Arana gilet provides core warmth and wind protection. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece over insulating mid-layers.

How waterproof is the Softshell XPT fabric?

The fabric has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm/m²/24hrs, making it suitable for protection against rain and showers. It is designed to be waterproof and breathable.

Can I machine wash the gilet?

Yes, you can machine wash the gilet at 30°C using a mild detergent. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed guidance.

What does the 'Durable Water Repellent' finish do?

The DWR finish causes water to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, helping to keep you dry in light rain and preventing the outer material from becoming saturated.

How do I adjust the hem?

There is a drawcord located at the hem of the gilet. Pull on the toggles or cord to tighten the hem for a closer fit, or loosen it to wear it more casually.

What are the pocket configurations?

The gilet features one zipped pocket on the chest and two lower zipped pockets, providing secure storage for essentials like a phone, keys, or a small map.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently run a pencil lead (graphite) or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Gilet feels too tight or loose

Adjust the drawcord at the hem for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing guide.
