FAQs
Is the TOG24 Welham Gilet fully waterproof?
No, the gilet features a water-repellent coating, which provides protection against light rain and drizzles. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What kind of weather is this gilet suitable for?
It is ideal for chilly days, cool autumn weather, or mild winter conditions when layered appropriately. Its insulation helps keep you warm and comfortable in cool temperatures.
How should I clean my Welham Gilet?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry low with dryer balls, or lay flat to air dry completely. Do not bleach or iron.
Can this gilet be worn in very cold winter conditions?
While it provides excellent warmth for chilly days, for very cold winter conditions, it's recommended to layer it over a substantial jumper or under a larger coat for optimal insulation.
Does the gilet restrict movement?
No, the gilet design inherently offers great freedom of movement for your arms. The two-way zip also allows for flexibility, preventing restriction when sitting or bending.
What is the benefit of the recycled insulated filling?
The recycled insulated filling is an environmentally conscious choice that effectively traps body heat, providing warmth similar to traditional insulation while utilizing sustainable materials.
How do the waist toggle adjusters work?
The toggle adjusters on the waist allow you to cinch in the gilet for a more fitted and flattering silhouette. This also helps to trap warmth more effectively and prevent cold drafts.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. The gilet is designed as an outer layer for chilly, not extreme, cold conditions. Check if the waist adjusters are cinched to prevent drafts.
Water repellency seems to diminish after washing
Over time and washes, the water-repellent coating can wear off. Consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor garments to restore its effectiveness.
Zipper feels stiff or snags
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently run a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it move smoothly.
