Product Information

Full details

The Joules Crofton Showerproof Padded Gilet is designed for active kids who need reliable core warmth during outdoor play and everyday adventures. Featuring a showerproof nylon shell and lightweight insulation, it provides essential protection from light rain and wind without the bulk of a heavy coat. While it is perfect for layering on transitional weather days, it is not intended for heavy, prolonged exposure to torrential rain or freezing winter conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is showerproof, meaning it will protect against light rain and drizzle, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.

Does this gilet have a hood?

No, the Crofton Gilet features a stand collar for neck warmth rather than a hood.

Is it suitable for winter?

It is best for transitional weather. For deep winter or freezing temperatures, it works best as a layer underneath a larger waterproof coat.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric.

What does the reflective logo do?

The reflective Joules logo at the back neck reflects light back towards the source, helping your child be more visible to others in low-light conditions like dusk.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently rub a pencil lead or dry soap bar along the teeth to act as a lubricant.

Water soaking into the fabric

If the water-repellent finish has worn off after many washes, treat the garment with a commercially available DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outdoor gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This gilet is designed to be worn over a long-sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt, or thin sweater. To maintain the integrity of the showerproof coating and the quality of the padding, machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Always zip up the pockets and the main front zipper before washing to protect the hardware. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the synthetic nylon fibers. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or bleach, as these can strip the showerproof finish.
