FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is made from durable polyester, which provides some resistance to light moisture, but it is not a fully waterproof garment.
What is the best way to clean the gilet?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach or iron.
Can my child wear this over a thick sweater?
Yes, the sleeveless design allows for layering over sweaters, though the fit may become snug depending on the thickness of the base layers.
Does the zipper have a chin guard?
The high collar design provides natural coverage, and the zip is designed for ease of use by children.
What age group is this size for?
This specific variant corresponds to size 3, which is generally suitable for toddlers around that age group.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and ensure the child is not wearing excessive bulky layers underneath.
Padding appears flattened after washing
Gently shake the gilet once dry to redistribute the padding evenly and hang it in a ventilated space.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Easy to clean synthetic materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is ready to wear immediately upon arrival. To ensure long-term durability, it is recommended to wash the garment in cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic padding; air drying is the best method to maintain the loft and shape of the vest. Store the gilet on a hanger when not in use to prevent creases and maintain the integrity of the padded structure.
