FAQs
How warm is the EA7 Core Identity Packable Gilet?
This gilet provides excellent warmth due to its goose down padding. It's designed to keep your core insulated in cool to cold conditions, whether worn as an outer layer in mild weather or as a mid-layer in colder temperatures.
Can I machine wash this gilet?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a delicate cycle with cold water. It's important to use a specialized down-specific detergent to protect the goose down. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
How do I make sure the down stays fluffy after washing?
After washing, tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These will help to break up any clumps of down and restore its natural loft and insulating properties.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The technical fabric offers some resistance to light moisture and splashes, but the gilet is not fully waterproof. It is not designed for use in heavy rain.
What is the material composition of the gilet?
The gilet features high-quality goose down padding for insulation and a durable technical polyester fabric for the outer shell and lining.
How do I pack the gilet into its dust bag?
To pack, lay the gilet flat, fold it neatly, and then roll or fold it tightly while simultaneously pressing out any trapped air. Once compressed, it should fit easily into the provided dust bag.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels flat or clumpy after washing.
This is common with down products. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean dryer balls or tennis balls. The balls will help agitate and redistribute the down, restoring its loft. Repeat drying cycles if necessary, ensuring the gilet is fully dry.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck frequently.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth. Work the zipper up and down gently several times to distribute the lubricant.
Gilet is difficult to pack into the dust bag.
Ensure the gilet is completely dry before packing. Fold it neatly and firmly press out all excess air as you roll or fold it towards the opening of the dust bag. Start from the bottom to push out air efficiently.
