Core Identity packable gilet - EA7 - Black

The technical fabric construction provides a degree of water resistance, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.

Fold the gilet neatly, usually by folding the sides inwards and then rolling it from the bottom up. Once rolled tightly, it should fit into the provided dust bag. Practice may be needed to achieve the most compact size.

It is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, offering core warmth without overheating. In winter, it serves as an excellent mid-layer under a heavier jacket for added insulation.

While suitable for light to moderate activity, its primary function is warmth. For very intense workouts, you might find it too warm. It's best for activities where core warmth is needed without heavy exertion.

The outer material is 100% polyamide, and it is filled with duck down and feathers (90/10 goose down ratio as per description means 90% down, 10% feathers) for lightweight insulation.

The product description indicates a regular fit without explicit mention of an adjustable hem. It is designed to fit the masculine silhouette comfortably, offering a clean, modern look.

This is common with down-filled items. Tumble dry the gilet on low heat with 3-5 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls help to agitate and redistribute the down, restoring its natural fluffiness. Ensure it's completely dry to prevent mildew.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try zipping again. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth to improve smooth operation.

For minor damage, specialized repair patches designed for technical outerwear or down jackets can be used. Clean the area, apply the patch according to its instructions, and ensure a strong seal to prevent down leakage.
