FAQs
What makes this gilet 'packable'?
The gilet is designed to be easily folded or rolled into a very compact size, allowing it to fit into its own small storage bag, making it highly portable.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
This gilet is designed primarily for warmth and is not waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture but should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
How do I ensure the down filling remains effective?
Proper washing and drying are crucial. Always follow the care label instructions, typically involving cold washing and low-heat tumble drying with tennis balls to maintain down loft.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter conditions?
While warm, it's best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional insulation or a heavier coat would be recommended.
What is the purpose of the contrasting EA7 logo?
The logo is a design element that adds a touch of brand identity and aesthetic detail to the garment.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed with technical fabric and features goose down padding for insulation.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not providing enough warmth
Ensure the zip is fully closed and consider layering with additional garments. Check if the down has clumped; if so, tumble dry on low with tennis balls to redistribute.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Tumble dry on low with tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps of down and restore the loft and softness of the material.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.
