FAQs
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
'PFC-free' means the garment has been manufactured without perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in water-repellent treatments but can have environmental concerns. This gilet uses a more environmentally friendly alternative.
How effective is the water resistance?
The water resistance is effective against light rain or splashes. Droplets will bead and roll off the fabric. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Is this gilet warm enough on its own?
The gilet provides a good level of warmth due to its quilted padding, making it suitable for cool or mild weather. For very cold conditions, it is intended to be worn as a layer over other clothing.
Can this gilet be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, the gilet features a unisex design and is suitable for children of all genders.
What size should I choose?
The product information indicates this specific gilet is a Kids size 9. Please refer to the brand's general sizing guide for accurate measurements if available, considering the child's age and build.
How do I clean the gilet?
You can machine wash the gilet at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems reduced
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off over time. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for outdoor clothing to restore its performance. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.
Gilet feels too thin for very cold weather
This gilet is designed for layering. For colder temperatures, wear it over a thicker base layer like a fleece or a warm jumper.
