FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is showerproof, meaning it is designed to repel light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I tumble dry this garment?
Air drying is strongly recommended to protect the integrity of the padding and the showerproof coating.
What is the best way to clean the gilet?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and harsh fabric softeners.
Is this suitable for winter?
It provides good core warmth, but it is best used as a layering piece under a heavier coat during deep winter.
What age group is this size intended for?
The 9-10 size is specifically categorized for children in that age range, though we recommend checking local sizing charts for exact measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric during rain
The showerproof coating may have worn off; use a technical fabric reproofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
Zipper sticking or difficult to close
Check the zipper teeth for trapped fabric or dirt; gently clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Joules Crofton Gilet is straightforward to wear, featuring a durable front zipper that is easy for children to operate independently. To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these care guidelines: wash in cool water on a gentle cycle to preserve the synthetic padding. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the showerproof coating. Air drying is recommended, as high heat from a tumble dryer can damage the nylon fabric and the showerproof treatment. If necessary, the garment can be reproofed with a standard technical fabric wash-in treatment to restore its water-repellent properties.
