Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Countryman Gilet is an ideal outer layer for active children who need extra core warmth during outdoor play or countryside excursions. Constructed from high-quality 300g thermal fleece, it provides reliable insulation without restricting arm movement; however, it is designed for layering and does not offer waterproof protection during heavy rainfall.

FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
No, the Countryman Gilet is made from thermal fleece and is not waterproof or water-resistant.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as heat can degrade the fleece and the faux leather trim.
What age does the M (7-8 years) size fit?
The M size is specifically sized for children aged 7-8 years old, but always check the measurements if available to ensure the best fit.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials, but they may be too small for larger modern smartphones.
Is this suitable for wearing under a coat?
Yes, its low-bulk sleeveless design makes it an excellent mid-layer for extra warmth under a heavier waterproof jacket.
How do I remove mud or dirt from the fleece?
Allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off with a soft-bristle brush before spot cleaning with a damp cloth if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for fabric caught in the teeth; ensure the track is clear of loose threads and rub a pencil tip over the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove small fiber balls that appear after friction during play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This gilet is ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature to protect the fleece fibers and faux leather accents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the synthetic fleece material and the faux leather piping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the blue fabric.
- Compatibility: It works exceptionally well when layered over a long-sleeved base layer or under a waterproof shell for complete weather protection.
