Product Information
Full details
The Joules Crofton Padded Gilet is designed for active kids who need reliable core warmth without sacrificing mobility during outdoor play. This lightweight, nylon-based gilet is an excellent layering piece for drizzly days, tree climbing, or park activities, providing a showerproof barrier against light rain. While it offers superior freedom of movement for the arms, it is best suited as a mid-layer or light outer layer rather than a substitute for a heavy-duty winter coat in freezing temperatures.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It features a showerproof coating designed to shed light rain, but it is not intended to be fully waterproof in heavy rain or deep snow.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the gilet to prevent damage to the synthetic materials and the protective coating.
What size is right for my child?
This product follows standard UK children's sizing. Please refer to the specific size label (e.g., size 8) to ensure the best fit for your child's growth stage.
What is the primary material used?
The gilet is crafted from high-quality, durable nylon that provides both resistance to wear and a lightweight feel.
Is it suitable for winter?
It serves well as a mid-layer in winter but is best suited for autumn, spring, or mild winter days as an outer layer.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The showerproof treatment may have worn off. Apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment to restore the coating.
Garment losing its loft or warmth
Ensure the gilet is washed in a machine that is not overcrowded and shake it out immediately after drying to redistribute the inner padding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is designed to be worn over standard casual clothing such as long-sleeve tees, shirts, or knitwear. To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the showerproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the padding and fabric.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy coat hanger when not in use to preserve its shape and loft.
- Reproofing: If the water-repellency fades after extensive wear, you may apply a spray-on waterproof treatment designed for synthetic outdoor gear.
