FAQs
Is the TOG24 Welham Gilet fully waterproof?
No, the Welham Gilet features a water-repellent coating, which provides protection against light rain and drizzle. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
How should I wash my Welham Gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not use bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. It's crucial not to use fabric softener, as it can impair the water-repellent finish. Drip dry it in the shade.
What kind of filling is used in this gilet?
The gilet uses a chunky quilted insulated filling made from 100% recycled polyester materials, providing effective warmth while being eco-friendly.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?
The Welham Gilet is ideal for chilly days and transitional weather. For very cold winter conditions, it is best worn as a warm layering piece over a thick jumper or under a waterproof outer shell, as it is a gilet and not a full winter coat.
Does the gilet have pockets?
Yes, the Welham Gilet is complete with pockets for ample storage, perfect for keeping your hands warm or carrying small essentials.
Is the hood adjustable or removable?
The hood is adjustable with toggle adjusters to help keep your head and neck warm and protected. The product information does not specify if it is removable, so assume it is fixed.
What does 'extra-long' mean for the gilet?
The 'extra-long' design means the gilet extends further down the body than a standard gilet, offering enhanced coverage and additional warmth over your hips and upper thighs.
Troubleshooting
Gilet doesn't feel warm enough.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. This gilet is designed for chilly days and may require a warm jumper or hoodie underneath in colder conditions. Check that the waist and hood adjusters are cinched to trap heat effectively.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent coating can wear off over time or with improper washing. Ensure you are not using fabric softener. Consider re-treating the gilet with a suitable water-repellent spray designed for outdoor clothing.
The two-way zip is difficult to operate or gets stuck.
Ensure both zippers are aligned at the bottom before zipping up. Gently pull the zipper, avoiding excessive force. If it frequently snags, check for loose threads or fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant can also help smooth operation.
The gilet doesn't offer a flattering fit.
Utilize the internal toggle adjusters located at the waist. Cinching these will create a more "cinched-in" silhouette, enhancing the gilet's flattering shape and also helping to keep you warmer.
