FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is made from softshell fabric and is designed for lightweight protection against wind and light moisture, not full waterproofing. The mesh back further enhances breathability, meaning it is not waterproof.

What is the primary benefit of the mesh-back panel?

The mesh-back panel is designed to significantly increase breathability and airflow, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during physical activity or warmer conditions.

Can this gilet be worn in cold weather?

It can be worn in cold weather as part of a layering system, over warmer base layers. However, on its own, it provides lightweight protection and may not be sufficient for very cold temperatures.

What material is the gilet made of?

The gilet is constructed from softshell material for the main body and features a mesh back panel. The primary material content is Polyester.

How should I wash this gilet?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on a cool setting if needed.

Does this gilet come in other colors or sizes?

This specific product is a Black XL. Lyle & Scott often offers their apparel in a range of sizes and colors, so other options may be available through the brand.

What does the embroidered eagle logo signify?

The embroidered eagle logo is the signature emblem of Lyle & Scott, representing the brand's heritage and iconic status in clothing.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels restrictive

Ensure you have the correct size. The softshell material offers flexibility, but a size too small will inherently limit movement.

Mesh back not providing enough airflow

Verify that the mesh back is not obstructed by other layers. Ensure it's clean and free of debris.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to ease movement.

Embroidered logo is peeling

Avoid high heat during drying and ironing. If peeling has started, cease ironing the logo area immediately. Gentle care during washing and drying is key.
