FAQs
Is the TOG24 Welham Gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Welham Gilet is designed for chilly days and provides significant warmth with its padded, recycled insulation. For very cold winter weather, it's recommended to layer it over substantial warm clothing like a thick jumper or fleece, as it does not cover the arms.
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the TOG24 Welham Gilet features a water-repellent coating, which means it will protect you from light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy downpours.
What kind of insulation is used in the gilet?
The gilet uses a chunky quilted insulated filling made from 100% recycled polyester materials, designed to trap heat effectively.
Can I adjust the fit of the gilet?
Yes, the gilet includes toggle adjusters on the waist, allowing you to cinch it in for a more customized and flattering fit, and to enhance warmth.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the Welham Gilet is complete with pockets for ample storage of your essentials.
How should I clean my Welham Gilet?
The gilet is made from a blend of cotton and nylon for the outer, and polyester for the lining and fill. For specific washing instructions, always refer to the care label located inside your garment to ensure proper maintenance and longevity.
What are the benefits of the two-way zip?
The two-way zip allows for greater flexibility. You can zip it up from the bottom for increased ventilation, or to provide more comfort and freedom of movement when sitting down, without fully unzipping the gilet.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels too loose or bulky, not trapping enough warmth.
Utilize the toggle adjusters located at the waist. Cinch them in to create a closer fit, which will help seal in body heat more effectively and create a more flattering silhouette.
Hood feels loose and doesn't stay in place in windy conditions.
Adjust the toggle fasteners on either side of the hood. Pull them to tighten the hood around your head for a snugger fit, providing better warmth and protection.
Feeling cold despite wearing the gilet on chilly days.
Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath the gilet. It is designed to be worn over warm jumpers or hoodies. Check that the zips are fully closed and all toggles are adjusted to minimize heat loss.
Water repellency seems less effective than before.
The water-repellent coating can wear off over time or with repeated washing. Ensure you are following proper care instructions. Info needed: For best results, consider applying a compatible DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for outerwear, following the product's instructions carefully.
Zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zip path. If the issue persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a specialized zipper wax) can sometimes help, applied sparingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
