FAQs
What is the primary material of this gilet?
The gilet is constructed from technical fabric and features goose down padding for warmth and insulation.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
While it offers good warmth due to the down padding, it is best suited for transitional weather or as a mid-layer. For extreme cold or heavy precipitation, a more robust outer layer may be necessary.
How do I pack this gilet for travel?
The gilet is designed to be fully packable. Simply fold it down and store it within its accompanying dust bag, which is provided for convenience.
Can I wash this gilet in a washing machine?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent suitable for down. Ensure you follow the drying instructions carefully.
What does 'packable' mean in relation to this gilet?
'Packable' means the gilet can be compressed and folded into a very small size, making it easy to carry in a bag or luggage without taking up much space.
Does the gilet have a hood?
This specific EA7 Core Identity gilet does not feature a hood; it is a sleeveless vest style.
What is the purpose of the contrasting EA7 logo?
The contrasting EA7 logo on the chest is a design element that provides subtle branding and a signature aesthetic to the garment.
Troubleshooting
Gilet appears flat or loses loft
Place the gilet in a tumble dryer on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. This will help to break up clumps and restore the down's loft.
Zipper is difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it snags on fabric, carefully free the material. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Down is leaking through the fabric
Gently push the down back into the jacket from the outside. Minor leakage can occur, but significant leakage may indicate a seam issue. Check seams for damage.
