Product Information
Full details
The Joules Crofton Showerproof Padded Gilet is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for active children who enjoy outdoor play and weekend adventures. It offers reliable core warmth and protection against light rain without the bulk of a traditional heavy jacket, making it perfect for transitional weather; however, since it is showerproof rather than waterproof, it may not be suitable for heavy, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is showerproof, meaning it protects against light rain and drizzles but is not designed for heavy, sustained downpours.
What material is the outer shell made of?
The outer shell is constructed from durable nylon.
Does it have any safety features for low light?
Yes, it features a reflective Joules logo on the back neck to help your child be seen in darker conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the gilet to protect the padding and the showerproof treatment. Avoid high heat.
Are the pockets deep enough for items?
The pockets are zipped and designed to securely hold small essentials appropriate for a child's size.
Does the zipper have a chin guard?
Yes, it includes a soft chin guard to prevent the zipper from irritating the child's skin.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean any dirt or debris from the teeth using a soft-bristled brush.
Water soaking through the fabric
If the gilet is losing its showerproof property, wash with a technical fabric cleaner and consider applying a spray-on durable water repellent (DWR) treatment once completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed for easy everyday use and simple layering. For optimal warmth, wear it over a long-sleeved base layer or a light fleece sweater. To maintain the integrity of the showerproof nylon and the quality of the padding, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle. Always close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging. Hang the gilet to air dry; avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic filling and the showerproof coating over time.
