FAQs

Is the Trespass Leona Gilet waterproof?

The Leona Gilet is made from high-quality pongee fabric which offers resistance against outdoor elements, but it is not fully waterproof. It's designed to provide warmth and protection from light weather as a layering piece.

How do I adjust the hood on the gilet?

The gilet features an adjustable grown-on hood with hood ties. You can pull these ties to cinch the hood for a snugger fit around your head, providing customizable protection from wind and cold.

What materials are used in the gilet?

The Trespass Leona Gilet is crafted from durable pongee fabric and lined with soft Taffeta, with Polyester filling in the padded panels.

Can I wear this gilet in winter?

Yes, the Leona Gilet is designed to keep you warm and cozy during chilly weather conditions. It functions excellently as a mid-layer for added insulation under a winter coat, or as an outer layer on milder winter days.

How many pockets does the gilet have?

The gilet features two convenient pockets, providing ample storage for your essentials like phone, keys, or wallet.

What is the purpose of the side vents?

The side vents are designed to enhance mobility and comfort. They allow for greater freedom of movement, making the gilet more comfortable during active use or when sitting, and also contribute to its stylish longer length.

Is this gilet suitable for hiking?

Yes, its durable fabric, core warmth, and non-restrictive design make it a great choice for hiking and other outdoor activities where you need warmth without bulky sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels restrictive or bulky when worn with layers.

Ensure your base layers are not excessively thick. The gilet's longer length and side vents are designed to enhance mobility; utilize the side vents for greater freedom of movement and consider lighter inner layers.

Hood doesn't stay up or provide adequate protection in windy conditions.

Use the integrated hood ties to cinch the grown-on hood snugly around your face. This allows you to customize the fit and secure the hood more effectively against wind and cold.

Feeling cold despite wearing the gilet.

Remember that a gilet provides core warmth but lacks sleeves. Ensure you are wearing appropriate long-sleeved base layers or mid-layers to insulate your arms. In very cold conditions, the gilet is best used as an insulating layer under a shell jacket.

Pockets seem difficult to access or items feel insecure.

The gilet features two convenient pockets for essentials. Ensure items are fully placed inside to prevent them from falling out. If the pockets feel tight, avoid overfilling them, especially with bulky items.

This gilet requires no complex setup; simply wear it over your chosen base or mid-layers.

Its design supports both casual wear and more active outdoor pursuits. For care, to maintain the gilet's quality and performance, it's recommended to follow standard care for polyester-based padded garments. Info needed: Specific care instructions for washing and drying (e.g., machine wash cold, gentle cycle; tumble dry low or air dry). Avoid harsh detergents or bleach to preserve the fabric's integrity and insulation.
