FAQs

Is this gilet warm enough for winter?

This gilet provides moderate warmth and is best suited for layering in colder climates or for transitional weather. For very cold winter conditions, it may be necessary to layer it over warmer clothing or wear a heavier coat.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

Refer to the product's size chart, which should be available from the retailer. Measure your child's chest and length and compare it to the provided dimensions. The 'Size 8' indicated is typically a UK children's size.

Can the water-repellent treatment be reapplied?

Yes, after prolonged use, the water-repellent properties may diminish. You can reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray, following the product's instructions, to restore its effectiveness.

What is the gilet made of?

The gilet is made of 100% Polyester, both for the outer material and the padding.

How should I store the gilet when not in use?

It is recommended to store the gilet in the practical dust bag that is provided. This helps to keep it clean and protected from dust and potential damage.

Is the gilet machine washable?

Yes, the gilet is machine washable on a cold setting (30°C). It's important to use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors.

Does it have a hood?

No, this particular EA7 Padded Gilet features a high collar but does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels damp inside after light rain.

Ensure the gilet is fully dry before storing. The water-repellent treatment may be less effective if the garment is heavily saturated or if the treatment has worn off over time. Consider re-applying a suitable water-repellent spray if performance diminishes.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the zipper is aligned correctly before zipping.

Quilting stitches are coming undone.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on them. If a significant section of quilting has come undone, it may require professional repair.

Logo appears faded or peeling.

This can occur with excessive washing or friction. Avoid ironing directly on the logo. Hand-washing the affected area gently might help, but significant damage may be irreversible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This gilet requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging, potentially from its included dust bag.

Compatibility: This gilet is designed as an outerwear garment and can be layered over various tops such as T-shirts, jumpers, and light sweaters. It pairs well with jeans, leggings, or other casual bottoms.

Care Instructions: To maintain the gilet's quality and performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid direct high heat.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases appear, steam gently on a low setting.
  4. Chemicals: Do not bleach or use fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment.
  5. Storage: Store in the provided dust bag in a cool, dry place to protect the material and its properties.
