FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
This gilet is made from softshell fabric and offers lightweight protection, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to resist light wind and moisture but is not suitable for heavy rain.
What is the main benefit of the mesh-back panel?
The mesh-back panel is designed to significantly improve breathability, allowing for better airflow to help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during physical activity or in warmer conditions.
How should I care for the embroidered logo?
To maintain the embroidered logo, avoid direct high heat when ironing. It is recommended to iron on a low heat setting or turn the garment inside out.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed from a softshell material with a mesh-back panel for enhanced breathability.
Can this gilet be worn in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather as a layering piece. It provides a lightweight barrier and can be worn over other garments, or under a heavier coat for added insulation.
What is the fit of the gilet?
The gilet has a regular fit, designed to layer cleanly over other clothing items without being too baggy or too tight.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the size guide and ensure you have selected the correct size. The regular fit is designed for clean layering; if a different fit is preferred, consider alternative styles.
Reduced breathability or overheating
Ensure the mesh-back panel is not obstructed. Check that the garment is not layered too heavily underneath for the current temperature.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric around it is straight. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax can help ease movement.
