Full details
This EA7 gilet is designed for adult males seeking a warm yet versatile garment for both athletic pursuits and casual wear. Its key benefit lies in its combination of goose down padding and technical fabric, offering excellent warmth without bulk. A potential caveat is its packable nature, which might mean a slightly more fitted design than a traditional puffer jacket. This gilet features front zip fastening, two side pockets, and is easily stored in its included dust bag, all while being branded with a contrasting EA7 logo.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the gilet?
The gilet combines goose down padding with a technical fabric for warmth and durability.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
It provides excellent warmth for its weight and is ideal as a mid-layer or for mild to cool conditions. For extreme cold, it may need to be worn under a heavier outer shell.
How do I pack the gilet for travel?
The gilet is designed to be fully packable and can be stored in its included dust bag. Simply fold or roll it to fit inside.
Can I wear this gilet for sports?
Yes, the technical fabric and lightweight design make it suitable for various sport and leisure activities where core warmth is needed without restricting movement.
How often should I wash my down gilet?
Wash only when necessary to maintain the down's loft and performance. Spot clean minor marks if possible. Follow the specific washing and drying instructions carefully when a full wash is required.
What does 'packable' mean for this gilet?
It means the gilet is designed to compress down significantly, allowing it to be folded and stored in a very small space, such as its own small pouch or dust bag, making it highly portable.
Does it have a hood?
This specific model, the Packable Core Identity Gilet, does not feature a hood. It has a standard collar.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not as warm as expected
Ensure the down filling is evenly distributed. If the gilet has been compressed for a long time, tumble dry it on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft. Check that all zippers and fastenings are secured.
Down feathers escaping
This can occasionally happen with down products. Gently pull any escaped feathers back through the fabric from the inside if possible. Washing and drying according to instructions can help reseal small openings.
Gilet feels bulky after washing
The down may have clumped together. Ensure you tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help break up clumps and restore the loft of the down.
Logo peeling or damaged
Avoid ironing directly on the logo. If ironing is needed, do so on the reverse side of the fabric on a low heat setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and loft of the goose down filling, it is recommended to follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. It is often recommended to wash down garments with specialized down wash for best results.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. It is crucial to add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to the dryer to help break up clumps of down and restore the loft.
- Storage: Store the gilet loosely in its provided dust bag or on a hanger. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to prevent damage to the down.
- Cleaning the Logo: Avoid direct ironing on the EA7 logo. If ironing is necessary, use a low setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
