Product Information
Full details
The Korda LE Fleece Gilet is designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable thermal regulation without sacrificing arm mobility. It serves as a versatile layering piece that excels as an outer layer on mild days or a heat-trapping mid-layer during winter sessions, though it lacks water-repellent properties, making it unsuitable for use as a standalone rain shell.

FAQs
Is this gilet windproof?
No, it is made of fleece which is breathable, so it will not block strong winds entirely.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent mid-layer for use beneath heavier outer shells.
Does the fleece shed after washing?
The fabric features an anti-pilling finish, which significantly reduces shedding and bobbling compared to standard fleece.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The zipped breast pocket is designed to securely hold most modern smartphones and smaller valuables.
Is this garment suitable for summer use?
It is perfect for summer evenings or early morning starts when there is a slight chill in the air.
How should I store this gilet long-term?
Store it on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the structure of the collar.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check the zipper track for fabric fibers and ensure it is free from debris; apply a small amount of clear candle wax to the teeth if friction persists.
Fleece appears slightly matted after heavy use
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a soft-bristled garment brush to gently lift and restore the fleece loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a layering garment, ensure you choose a size that fits comfortably over your base layers without being so loose that it loses heat efficiency.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Avoid using heavy detergents that might degrade the anti-pilling treatment.
- Air dry whenever possible to preserve the shape of the collar and the integrity of the fleece fibers.
- Close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging.
