Product Information
Full details
The Trespass Abbott Softshell Gilet is designed for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight layering piece for hiking, cycling, or daily errands. It provides an effective balance of weather protection and breathability thanks to its integrated TPU membrane; however, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best suited for core warmth rather than extreme full-body environmental defense.

FAQs
Is the Trespass Abbott Gilet waterproof?
It features a TPU membrane that offers significant wind and light weather protection, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this under a coat?
Yes, its low-profile design is specifically engineered to function as a mid-layer under larger jackets without adding excessive bulk.
How should I wash this gilet?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as this can damage the protective membrane.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The secure zip pockets are designed to hold standard-sized smartphones and everyday essentials like keys securely.
What is the primary material used?
The garment is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester with an integrated TPU membrane.
Does it have a hood?
No, the Abbott Gilet is a sleeveless, collar-focused design with an integrated chin guard for neck protection.
Troubleshooting
Zips are catching or sticking
Clear any debris or fabric caught in the teeth and gently work the slider back and forth. You can apply a light wax lubricant if the issue persists.
Moisture is soaking through the material
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a dedicated technical fabric re-waterproofing spray to restore its performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Abbott Gilet, always consult the internal garment care label. Generally, this polyester-based softshell should be washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the integrity of the TPU membrane and reduce its weather-resistant properties. To maintain the water-repellent finish, ensure it is dried properly and occasionally treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if water stops beading on the surface. For storage, hang the gilet on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape.
