It's perfect for wearing at this time of year as it's quite windproof and cosy without being too warm. The zip puller thing has come off and I can't get it back on 😭😭😭

Diogenes Jan 2021 10:50pm, 19 Jan 2021 56,772 posts	0 Diogenes I have a similar problem with my Illuminate gilet. I just don’t undo the zip and pull it off and on over my head

LazyDaisy Jan 2021 8:45am, 20 Jan 2021 32,328 posts	0 LazyDaisy It's the whole puller-closer-opener bit that's come off unfortunately so the paper clip isn't needed but thanks for the suggestion.
