Product Information
Full details
The Joules Boys Crofton Gilet in Navy is designed for active boys seeking warmth and protection during outdoor play. Its key benefit is providing showerproof insulation without restricting movement, though it's important to note it's primarily a layering piece rather than a heavy winter coat. This gilet features chevron quilting, padding, a zip fastening with a chin guard, and practical zipped pockets, making it a versatile addition to a child's wardrobe.

FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?
The Crofton Gilet provides warmth due to its padding, but it is primarily designed as a layering piece or for mild to cool weather. For very cold or snowy conditions, it would be best layered under a heavier, insulated jacket.
What is the main material of the gilet?
The main outer and lining material is 100% Nylon, with 100% Polyester wadding for padding.
How do I wash the gilet?
The gilet is machine washable. Please refer to the specific care label instructions on the garment for the best results and to maintain its properties.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features two zipped side pockets, providing secure storage for small items.
What does 'showerproof' mean?
Showerproof means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration from light rain or showers, helping to keep the wearer dry in brief wet weather.
Does this gilet have a hood?
No, the Joules Boys Crofton Gilet does not feature a hood; it has a stand-up collar for neck warmth.
Can this gilet be worn by both boys and girls?
While this specific listing is for 'Boys', Joules often offers similar gilet styles in unisex designs and a range of colours. Please check other available listings for unisex options.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to ease the zipper. If persistent, a small amount of graphite from a pencil on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Gilet has lost some of its showerproof quality.
Gently wash the gilet according to care instructions. Specialized reproofing sprays for outdoor clothing can be applied after washing and drying to restore water repellency.
Padding feels uneven after washing.
Gently fluff the gilet by hand after washing and during the drying process. Avoid high heat drying, which can cause the wadding to clump.
