FAQs

Is the Trespass Leona Gilet waterproof?

The Trespass Leona Gilet features Pongee fabric and a storm flap for defense against light rain and wind. However, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, we recommend pairing it with a dedicated waterproof outer shell.

How should I wash my Leona Gilet?

We recommend following the specific care label instructions inside your gilet. Generally, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (30°C) with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry completely to maintain the padding's integrity.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold winter weather?

The Leona Gilet provides excellent core warmth, making it suitable for cool to cold weather as a mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, it performs best as part of a multi-layered system, worn over warm base layers and under a protective, insulated outer jacket.

What is Pongee fabric?

Pongee fabric is a type of polyester known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wrinkles, shrinking, and stretching. It often has a soft, smooth feel and can offer good water resistance, making it a popular choice for outdoor apparel.

Does the hood detach from the gilet?

No, the hood on the Trespass Leona Gilet is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is integrated into the gilet's design and cannot be detached. It does feature adjustable hood ties for a customizable fit.

What are the side vents for?

The side vents on the Leona Gilet are designed to enhance your mobility and comfort. They prevent the gilet from feeling restrictive, especially when you are moving or engaging in activities, allowing for a greater range of motion.

How many pockets does the gilet have?

The gilet is equipped with two convenient pockets, providing ample and secure storage for small essentials such as your phone, keys, or other personal items, keeping them easily accessible.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too bulky or restricts movement.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The gilet is designed for layering; consider wearing thinner garments underneath if it feels too tight. The side vents are specifically designed to aid mobility, ensure they are not obstructed by other clothing.

Gilet isn't providing enough warmth in cold conditions.

The Leona Gilet is primarily a layering piece. For very cold weather, wear it over a warm base layer (e.g., thermal top or fleece) and/or under a protective outer shell jacket. Ensure the storm flap is fully zipped and secured, and the hood ties are tightened if using the hood.

Fabric appears to be less water-resistant than expected.

While Pongee fabric offers good weather defense, the gilet is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, it should be worn as an insulating layer beneath a dedicated waterproof jacket. Regular cleaning can also help maintain the fabric's water-repellent properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Trespass Leona Gilet requires no complex setup. Simply wear it as a top layer over your chosen attire or as a mid-layer beneath an outer jacket. Ensure the front zip is fully fastened and the storm flap secured for maximum warmth and weather protection. Adjust the hood ties to your comfort and preference for head coverage.

Compatibility

This gilet is highly compatible with a wide range of clothing, designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing wardrobe.

  • Outerwear: Can be worn under various waterproof or windproof jackets for added insulation in colder, wetter climates.
  • Mid-layers: Pairs well with long-sleeved t-shirts, thermal tops, fleeces, or light sweaters.
  • Bottoms: Complements outdoor trousers, leggings, jeans, or casual skirts.
  • Accessories: Easily combined with hats, scarves, and gloves for comprehensive warmth in colder conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Leona Gilet. As it's made from Polyester (Pongee fabric and Taffeta lining), general polyester care guidelines apply, but always check the specific care label inside your gilet for precise instructions.

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (typically 30°C) with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and padding.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry by hanging the gilet. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain the loft of the padding. Avoid direct high heat.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron directly. If necessary, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth, avoiding padded areas.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not compress for extended periods, as this can reduce the loft and insulating properties of the padding.
