FAQs

What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is made from high-quality recycled polyester, offering durability and a lightweight feel.
How should I wash this technical-fabric gilet?
Always check the garment's care label. Generally, gentle machine washing on a cool cycle with mild detergent and air drying is recommended for technical fabrics and padded items.
Can I wear this gilet for intense sports activities?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Padding feels uneven after washing
Gently fluff the padded areas with your hands. If necessary, a very low heat tumble dry with clean tennis balls can help redistribute the filling, but always check the care label first.
Outer fabric shows minor scuffs
For light scuffs on technical fabric, a damp cloth may be sufficient for cleaning. For more persistent marks, use a mild soap and water solution and gently clean the affected area.
