Canada Goose Vanier Gilet - Black - M

The Canada Goose Vanier Gilet is designed to provide core warmth and insulation for children, making it ideal for layering in cooler weather.

While the outer fabric offers some water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. It is designed primarily for warmth and light protection from the elements.

The Vanier Gilet is sized for children. The 'M' size is typically suitable for a 10-year-old, but it's recommended to check the specific size chart provided by Canada Goose and consider the child's build and whether they will be layering thicker items underneath.

Yes, due to its down padding, it offers significant warmth. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier, insulated outer shell.

The gilet is filled with down padding, which is known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

Store the gilet loosely in a breathable bag or hang it. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods, as this can damage the down's loft and insulating properties.

Ensure the gilet is completely dry. Place it in a tumble dryer on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls for 20-30 minute cycles until the down is fully re-fluffed.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

This can occasionally happen with down-filled products. Gently pull the feather back into the gilet from the inside if possible. Avoid pulling on the feather from the outside. If excessive, contact customer support.
