FAQs
Is the Joules Heritage Padded Gilet machine washable?

Can I wear this under a rain jacket?

Does it come in other sizes?
Yes, this model is available in a range of sizes from S to XXXL to accommodate various body types.
Are the pockets zippered?
The gilet features front welt pockets designed for a clean aesthetic and easy access to your belongings.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks wrinkled after storage
Hang the garment in a bathroom while running a hot shower to use the steam to gently relax the wrinkles.

Apply a small amount of graphite or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is an apparel item, no assembly is required. To maintain the integrity of the polyester fabric and the suedette trims, it is recommended to follow the garment’s interior wash label strictly. Avoid tumble drying on high heat to prevent damage to the synthetic insulation. When storing the gilet, utilize the built-in suedette hanger loop to help the garment maintain its shape over time. If the suedette trims become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve their texture.
