Aztec Diamond Core Mid-layer Gilet - Black - M

The gilet is best suited for cool or mild weather conditions. Its showerproof fabric provides protection against light rain and wind, making it ideal for layering.

While it provides warmth, it's designed as a mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, you would likely need to wear it over a warmer insulating layer and potentially under a waterproof outer shell for full protection.

Refer to the size guide and consider what layers you typically wear underneath. The elasticated hem provides some flexibility, but selecting the correct size ensures comfort and optimal performance.

The outer pockets are zipped for security, but the fabric is showerproof, not fully waterproof. It is recommended to keep sensitive electronics or items that cannot get wet in a separate waterproof pouch.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.

The gilet offers some breathability, especially with the dual-zip feature allowing for ventilation. However, as a mid-layer, its primary function is warmth and protection, so extreme breathability like that found in high-performance activewear may not be its strongest suit.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth and move the zipper up and down several times.

Ensure items are placed flat within the pockets. Avoid overstuffing the pockets to maintain a streamlined profile.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying the gilet.
