FAQs
Is the Joules Crofton Gilet waterproof or just showerproof?
The gilet is showerproof, meaning it can repel light rain and water splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and may not offer protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What materials is the gilet made from?
The main fabric and lining are 100% Nylon. The wadding (insulation) is 100% Polyester.
How should I wash the gilet?
The gilet is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?
The gilet provides good warmth due to its wadding, making it suitable as a mid-layer or for mild to cool temperatures. For very cold weather, it is best worn as part of a layering system with warmer clothing underneath and a fully waterproof and insulated coat on top.
What is the purpose of the hand-me-down label?
The internal hand-me-down label is designed for you to write the name of the child who owns the gilet, making it easier to pass on to another child when it's outgrown.
How do I clean the zipped pockets?
The zipped pockets are integrated into the gilet's design. To clean them, simply follow the general washing instructions for the gilet. Ensure the zippers are closed before washing.
Where is the Joules hare logo located?
The signature Joules screen print hare logo is located on the chest of the gilet.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or lubricant can sometimes help, but apply sparingly.
Gilet lost its water repellency
The showerproof finish can fade with washing. Consider using a fabric re-waterproofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Pilling or bobbling on fabric surface
This can occur with normal wear and washing. Ensure you are washing the gilet inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive items.
Wadding appears to have shifted
After washing and drying, gently shake the gilet to redistribute the wadding. If significant shifting has occurred, it may require careful manual adjustment.
