FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet is made from 300g thermal fleece which is not waterproof. It is best used as a warm layering piece under a waterproof jacket.
Can this be worn in the summer?
It may be too warm for peak summer heat but is excellent for cool summer evenings or early mornings outdoors.
How should I choose the right size?
Use the provided age-group guidelines (e.g., 5-6 years) but consider the child's height and build, as layering underneath may require a slightly looser fit.
What is the material composition?
The gilet is crafted from high-quality 300g thermal fleece with decorative faux antique leather piping.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features two secure, zipped lower pockets ideal for keeping hands warm or holding small items.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently rub a lead pencil or zipper lubricant along the track.
Fleece appearing matted after washing
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore the loft and softness of the fibers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality 300g thermal material for reliable warmth
- Lightweight and non-restrictive for active children
- Secure pockets prevent loss of small items
- Classic styling suitable for various occasions
Cons
- Fleece is not windproof or waterproof
- Requires layering under a shell during heavy downpours
- Not intended for extreme sub-zero conditions without additional thermal layers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a simple pull-on gilet, there is no assembly required. For compatibility, it layers well with most standard school coats or rain shells. To maintain the quality of the thermal fleece, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the loft of the fleece and affect the integrity of the faux leather piping over time. Hang to dry naturally to preserve the shape.
