FAQs
What kind of weather is this gilet best suited for?
This gilet is ideal for chilly days and transitional seasons. Its insulation provides warmth, and the water-repellent coating offers protection against light rain or drizzle.
Is the insulation made from recycled materials?
Yes, the chunky quilted insulated filling is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to its warmth and environmental sustainability.
Can I adjust the fit of the gilet?
Yes, the gilet features toggle adjusters on the waist, allowing you to cinch it in for a more flattering fit and enhanced warmth retention. The hood also has toggle adjusters for a snug fit.
How do I clean my TOG24 Welham Long Gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Do not use softener. Drip dry in the shade. Always check the garment care label for detailed instructions.
Is this gilet suitable for active outdoor sports?
While it offers freedom of movement and warmth for activities like walking the dog or leisurely strolls, its extra-long design and urban styling might make it less suitable for high-intensity sports or very strenuous activities where maximum agility is required.
What is the outer material of the gilet?
The outer shell of the gilet is made from a blend of 65% Cotton and 35% Nylon, providing a durable and stylish finish.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the waist toggle adjusters are cinched to reduce drafts. Check that it is layered appropriately over warm clothing for optimal insulation on colder days.
Water-repellency seems to be diminishing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions strictly, especially avoiding fabric softener and tumble drying, as these can damage the water-repellent coating. Regular gentle washing helps maintain the coating.
Zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a wax-based zip lubricant to the teeth of the two-way zip. Avoid forcing the zip.
Gilet appears creased after washing.
As ironing is not recommended, allow the gilet to drip dry thoroughly in the shade, hanging it smoothly to minimize creases. The natural loft of the padding should help it regain its shape.
