Product Information

Full details

The Animal Lightweight Casual Warm Padded Water Resistant Full Zip Quilted Gilet in Green (Size 7-8 Years) is designed for active children who need a versatile layering piece for cooler weather. Its primary benefit is providing warmth and water resistance without bulk, making it ideal for outdoor play. A minor consideration is that its water-resistance is suitable for light rain and limited exposure, not prolonged downpours. Key features include its PFC-free water-resistant treatment, warm padding, full zip for easy wear, and convenient front pockets.

FAQs

What age range is this gilet for?

This specific gilet is a size 7-8 Years, suitable for children within that age bracket.

How do I wash the gilet?

Machine wash according to the care label instructions, typically on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Is the gilet waterproof?

No, it is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and water droplets, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

What does 'PFC-free' mean?

PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are often associated with environmental concerns.

Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?

It is designed for layering. For very cold weather, it should be worn over warm layers and potentially under a warmer, waterproof outer jacket.

Does this gilet come in other colours or sizes?

Yes, this style is often available in other colours and sizes. Please check the product listings for available variants.

Troubleshooting

Gilet is not as warm as expected.

Ensure the gilet is properly layered over an appropriate base or mid-layer for the conditions. It is designed as a layering piece, not a standalone winter coat.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The water-resistant treatment is for light rain. For heavier or prolonged rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended. The DWR treatment may also need refreshing over time.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: No setup is required for this gilet; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This gilet is designed as a layering piece. It is compatible with long-sleeve tops, sweaters, and lighter jackets for colder weather. It is suitable for unisex children's wear.

Care Instructions: Machine washable. Follow the care label instructions for optimal results. Typically, this involves washing at a low temperature with similar colours and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach.
