Core Identity packable gilet - EA7 - Black

The gilet is crafted from technical nylon fabric, offering some water resistance against light drizzles, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer layer.

Being 'packable' means the gilet can be easily compressed and folded into a small, self-contained pouch or the provided dust bag. This makes it highly convenient for travel, storage, and carrying in a backpack.

This gilet features a blend of goose down and duck down/feathers filling, providing lightweight yet effective warmth and insulation.

While it provides warmth, this gilet is best suited as a layering piece for winter. It can be worn over a sweater and under a heavy winter coat for optimal thermal performance in cold conditions. For mild winter days, it may suffice as an outer layer.

No, the EA7 Core Identity Packable Gilet is designed without a hood, focusing on a streamlined profile suitable for layering.

The gilet features a regular fit. We recommend consulting the EA7 size guide for precise measurements to ensure the best fit. Consider how you intend to layer it when making your selection.

While the primary material for this specific gilet is durable nylon, some variants of the EA7 Woven Down Gilet are crafted from certified recycled nylon, offering a sustainable choice. Please check specific product tags for details.

Gently shake and fluff the gilet by hand. Tumble dry on low heat with a few dryer balls for 15-20 minutes to help restore the down's loft.

Rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a zipper lubricant along the teeth of the zipper. Operate the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant.

This is normal for down-filled garments. Gently pull the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, which can enlarge the hole. If persistent, check for tears or seams that may need repair.

Ensure the down is fully lofted (not compressed). If recently washed, ensure it's completely dry. Consider your layering choices; for colder conditions, pair with appropriate base and mid-layers.

Ensure the gilet is completely dry after washing – any dampness can lead to mildew. If an odor persists, a second wash with a down-specific cleaner, followed by thorough drying with dryer balls, may be necessary.
