FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, the EA7 Core Identity gilet is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and wind resistance, but it is not intended for use in heavy rain. A separate waterproof jacket should be worn in such conditions.

How do I know if I need a size larger?

The gilet is designed for a versatile fit, but if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear it over bulkier layers, consider sizing up. Refer to the EA7 sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can I wash this gilet in a regular washing machine?

Yes, but it is crucial to use a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent and wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C). Refer to the care label on the garment for precise instructions.

How should I dry the gilet after washing?

The best method is to tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to evenly redistribute and re-fluff the down filling. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

What is the purpose of the dust bag?

The dust bag is provided for easy storage and portability. The gilet can be compressed and stored within the bag to save space when not in use or for travel.

What material is the padding made of?

The gilet is padded with goose down, which provides excellent warmth and insulation while remaining lightweight.

Troubleshooting

Gilet appears flat or loses loft after washing.

This is common with down-filled items. Place the gilet back in the dryer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. The balls will help to break up any clumps and restore the loft of the down.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. If it's still stiff, try gently rubbing a graphite pencil lead or a bit of lip balm along the teeth of the zipper for lubrication. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Outer fabric appears dirty.

Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a more thorough clean, follow the washing instructions carefully, ensuring a gentle cycle and proper drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this gilet is a standalone piece that can be layered over t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, or light sweaters. It is not intended to be worn as an outer shell in heavy rain.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 85°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting with tennis balls. This helps to re-fluff the down and prevent clumping. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storage.
  3. Storage: Store in its provided dust bag or a loosely folded state to maintain the loft of the down.
