FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this gilet?
The EA7 Core Identity gilet is designed for warmth and versatility, suitable for both sport and leisure activities in moderate to cool weather. Its packable design also makes it ideal for travel.
Is the gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from technical fabric that offers resistance to light wind and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions.
How do I pack the gilet?
The gilet is fully packable. Carefully fold or stuff it into its accompanying dust bag until it is compact for easy storage and transport.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold weather?
While the goose down provides excellent insulation, for extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to wear the gilet as a mid-layer over other insulating garments or under a heavier outer shell.
What is the material of the gilet?
The gilet combines goose down padding with a technical fabric exterior.
How should I clean the gilet to maintain its warmth?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to ensure the down remains fluffy and evenly distributed.
Troubleshooting
Gilet not insulating effectively
Ensure the down filling is evenly distributed. If the gilet has been washed, tumble dry on low with tennis balls to restore loft. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric that might compromise insulation.
Zipper is difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax can sometimes help.
Gilet feels bulky after washing
This is likely due to clumping of the down. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls. This process helps to break up the clumps and restore the filling's loft and evenness.
