FAQs
What is ripstop fabric?
Ripstop fabric is a weaving technique that incorporates reinforcing threads at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern. This makes the fabric resistant to tearing and ripping, enhancing its durability.
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from lightweight ripstop material, offering protection against wind and light moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided with the product listing. The available sizes range from XS to XXL, with specific waist measurements for UK sizing also indicated.
Can this gilet be worn in cold weather?
While it provides a layer of wind resistance, it is lightweight. For colder weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer garments like sweaters or fleeces, under a heavier jacket.
What kind of fit does this gilet have?
The gilet features a regular fit, designed to layer easily over other clothing without feeling too tight or bulky.
How should I care for the embroidered logo?
To maintain the embroidered logo, follow the general care instructions: wash at 30°C, avoid bleach, and iron on a low setting. Avoid excessive heat during tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to free the zipper. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricating the teeth with a graphite pencil or wax can help.
Stitching is coming undone
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. For larger issues, consult a tailor for repair to prevent further damage.
Logo appears faded after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. Air drying is recommended over high-heat tumble drying.
