FAQs

What is Thermore padding?

Thermore padding is a type of synthetic insulation designed to provide warmth similar to down but with better performance when wet and improved breathability. It's known for being lightweight and effective.

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet is made of technical fabric and is likely water-resistant to a degree, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to offer protection against light rain or splashes, not prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.

What activities is this gilet best suited for?

This gilet is ideal for sports and leisure activities such as light hiking, jogging, golf, or as an everyday layering piece during transitional weather seasons.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for EA7 apparel. This gilet is designed for a standard adult male fit, and your usual size should provide a comfortable layering fit.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

While the Thermore padding offers good warmth, this gilet is best suited as a mid-layer or for mild to cool conditions. For extreme cold, it may be necessary to layer it under a heavier jacket.

How do I clean the EA7 logo patch?

Avoid direct ironing on the logo patch. If washing, ensure it is turned inside out or protected during the wash cycle. Gently spot clean if needed.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If still stuck, use a graphite pencil to rub the teeth around the stuck area, then try zipping again.

Pilling or snagging on fabric

Avoid abrasive surfaces. If minor pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver. For snags, do not pull the thread; try to push it back through to the inside of the garment.

Reduced warmth after washing

Ensure the gilet is properly dried according to care instructions. Fluff the garment gently to redistribute the Thermore padding if it seems compacted.
