FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The Berghaus Burham Gilet is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture for a period. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses cosy synthetic wadding insulation, specifically polyester wadding, to provide warmth.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is a grown-on hood and cannot be removed.
How do I wash the gilet?
The gilet can be machine washed at 40°C. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low heat. Do not dry clean.
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
While it provides insulation, it is best suited as a mid-layer or for milder conditions. For very cold weather, layering it under a warmer, waterproof outer jacket is recommended.
What age group is this gilet for?
This gilet is designed for children. The specific size indicated (e.g., 7-8 years) should be checked for the correct fit.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features two zipped hand pockets to keep essentials safe and secure.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. If necessary, use a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Pilling or snagging on fabric.
Ripstop fabric is designed to prevent small snags from spreading. If minor pilling occurs, it can be carefully removed with a fabric shaver. Avoid sharp objects that could further damage the fabric.
Garment appears less water-resistant over time.
The water-resistant finish may diminish with wear and washing. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing to restore its protective properties.
