FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is constructed with technical fabric which offers some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed primarily for insulation and warmth rather than heavy rain protection.
How do I know if I need to size up?
The gilet is designed with a streamlined fit. If you prefer a looser fit for layering or general comfort, it is recommended to consider ordering one size larger than your usual size.
What is the main benefit of goose down padding?
Goose down padding provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning it is very lightweight while offering significant insulation to keep you warm.
Can this gilet be worn in very cold temperatures?
Yes, it can be worn as a standalone piece in moderately cold temperatures or as a mid-layer for added insulation in more extreme cold conditions.
How should I store the gilet when not in use?
It is best stored in the provided dust bag. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can affect the loft and insulating properties of the down.
What is the material of the gilet?
The primary outer and lining material is technical fabric, often nylon or polyester, with goose down as the insulating fill.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers escaping
This can occasionally happen with down-filled products. Gently pull the feather back through the fabric from the opposite side if possible. Avoid snagging or pulling forcefully. If excessive leakage occurs, contact customer support.
Gilet feels flat or clumpy after washing
This is usually due to the down clumping during the drying process. Re-tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help redistribute and re-fluff the down.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, try gently rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
