FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is showerproof, meaning it protects against light rain, but it is not intended for heavy downpours or continuous wet weather.
Can this be worn as a primary jacket?
It is designed as a mid-layer, meaning it is best used as a standalone piece in mild weather or under a shell jacket during winter.
How do I choose the right size?
The sizes are based on UK children's sizing; the 7-8 size is intended for standard growth ranges in that age bracket.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The zipped outer pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials safely.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, but use a cool, gentle cycle to protect the quilting and showerproof finish.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and wipe the teeth with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
Water starts soaking into the fabric
The showerproof treatment may have worn off; consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for nylon outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the nylon fabric and quilting, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, this garment should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners that may degrade the showerproof coating. To maintain the shape of the quilting, avoid tumble drying; instead, hang the gilet to air dry naturally. Because it is a mid-layer, it is designed to fit comfortably over base layers or thin shirts while still fitting underneath a larger outer jacket in extreme cold.
