FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

The gilet is showerproof, meaning it protects against light rain, but it is not intended for heavy, continuous downpours.

Can this be worn under a coat?

Yes, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent mid-layer for extra warmth under a heavier waterproof jacket.

How do I clean the gilet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle, preferably with similar colors, and air dry to maintain the integrity of the padding.

Is the material machine washable?

Yes, the nylon material is machine washable.

Does it have a hood?

No, this model features a stand collar for warmth rather than a hood.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently clear any debris from the teeth of the zipper.

Water soaking through the fabric

If the water-repellent finish wears off, use a wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for synthetic outdoor garments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Non-restrictive design ideal for active children
  • Lightweight yet warm padding
  • Showerproof protection for unpredictable weather
  • Enhanced visibility with reflective details
  • Soft chin guard prevents irritation

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy or prolonged rain
  • Provides no arm protection in freezing temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the gilet in top condition, it should be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the showerproof coating over time. The nylon exterior is durable, but it should be kept away from sharp objects to prevent snagging. When not in use, store the gilet in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the loft of the internal padding. It pairs perfectly with long-sleeved base layers or hoodies for maximum versatility throughout the changing seasons.
