FAQs

Is the TOG24 Welham Gilet fully waterproof?

No, the Welham gilet features a water-repellent coating, which means it will protect you from light rain and drizzle. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

What kind of weather is this gilet best suited for?

This gilet is ideal for chilly days and mild colder weather. Its insulated filling provides substantial warmth, making it perfect for autumn, spring, and milder winter days when you need an extra layer of warmth without the bulk of a full coat.

Are the materials used in the gilet sustainable?

Yes, the gilet features a chunky quilted insulated filling made from recycled materials, contributing to its eco-friendly design.

How do I create a 'cinched-in' look with this gilet?

The Welham gilet includes toggle adjusters at the waist. Simply pull these cords to tighten the gilet around your waist, which will create a flattering 'cinched-in' effect.

Does the gilet have pockets?

Yes, the Welham gilet is complete with pockets for ample storage, allowing you to carry small essentials or keep your hands warm.

Can I wear this gilet with thick sweaters?

Absolutely! The Welham gilet is designed to be layered comfortably over hoodies, warm jumpers, and other thick sweaters, providing additional warmth and a stylish finish.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too loose or bulky around the waist.

Utilize the waist toggle adjusters. Pull the cords to cinch in the waist, creating a more defined and flattering fit while also helping to retain body heat.

Difficulty zipping up the gilet from the bottom.

Ensure both parts of the two-way zip are fully inserted and aligned at the very bottom before attempting to pull the slider upwards. Sometimes a gentle wiggle can help align the teeth.

Water beads less effectively on the gilet's surface after some wear.

The water-repellent coating can wear off over time. After cleaning, you may consider applying a fabric-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor garments to restore its effectiveness. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup

Simply put on the gilet over your chosen layers. To secure, pull the two-way zip up from the bottom. For a customized fit, adjust the toggle fastenings on the hood to snug it around your head and neck, and use the toggles at the waist to create a more cinched-in silhouette if desired.
