FAQs

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

The mesh-back panel is designed to enhance breathability and airflow, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable during physical activity or in warmer conditions.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is constructed from softshell material and offers lightweight protection, primarily against wind and light moisture. It is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.

How should I clean the gilet?

The gilet can be machine washed cold (30°C) with like colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not dry clean.

What does 'softshell' mean in this context?

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This gilet is lightweight and best suited for mild or transitional weather. For colder conditions, it can be effectively layered over or under other garments for added warmth.

How do I know if the XL size will fit me?

What is the warranty period for this product?

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The XL is a regular fit, so if you prefer a looser feel for layering, consider sizing up. Check that the zipper is fully open when moving.

Mesh back is not providing enough airflow.

Ensure the mesh panel is not obstructed by other clothing layers. For maximum breathability, wear it over lighter base layers.

Stitching is coming undone.

Contact customer support with details of the issue and your proof of purchase for warranty information.
