FAQs
Is the Welham Long Gilet completely waterproof?
No, the Welham Long Gilet features a water-repellent coating and is designed to offer protection against light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy downpours.
What is the insulation made from?
The gilet's insulated filling is made from recycled materials, specifically recycled plastic bottles, contributing to its warmth and sustainability.
How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?
The gilet has toggle adjusters on both the hood and the waist. You can use these to customize the fit around your head for warmth and to cinch in the waist for a more flattering, tailored silhouette.
Can I wear this gilet in winter?
Yes, the Welham Gilet is designed for warmth and is suitable for chilly weather. For colder winter days, it works well as a layering piece over thicker clothing.
How should I clean my gilet?
Always check the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions. Generally, similar insulated polyester garments are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water, and should be air-dried or tumble dried on low with dryer balls.
What is the purpose of the two-way zip?
The two-way zip allows you to open the gilet from both the top and the bottom. This is convenient for adjusting ventilation, increasing comfort when sitting, or allowing for greater freedom of movement without having to fully unzip the garment.
Does this gilet have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not explicitly mention the presence of pockets. Please check the product images or contact customer support for clarification on pocket features.
Troubleshooting
Gilet doesn't feel warm enough in cold weather.
The Welham Gilet provides excellent warmth for chilly conditions. For very cold temperatures, consider layering appropriately underneath with thicker sweaters or thermal wear. Ensure the two-way zip is fully closed and hood/waist toggles are tightened to seal in warmth.
Water repellency seems to be less effective.
The gilet is treated with a water-repellent coating which can wear off over time or with washes. After cleaning, consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) restorative spray, available at outdoor retailers, to revitalize its water-resistant properties.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently wiggling the zipper pull. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth) can help smooth its operation.
Waist toggles won't stay cinched or are difficult to adjust.
Check that the toggle mechanism is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are pulling the elastic cord firmly through the toggle to secure it. If the elastic has stretched over time, its grip may lessen.

Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Welham Long Gilet, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Always refer to the specific care label sewn inside the garment for precise washing instructions. As a general guide for insulated polyester garments, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute the insulation, or ideally, air dry flat. Avoid high heat as it can damage the fabric and insulation. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean unless explicitly stated on the care label.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent coating may diminish. You can restore it by using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor garments after washing, following the product's instructions.
