Polo Ralph Lauren Gorham down gilet - Black - 4

While the 650 fill power down offers good insulation, this gilet is best suited for transitional seasons or as a mid-layer in colder climates. It provides excellent warmth for windy and cool conditions but may not be sufficient as a primary outer layer for extreme winter temperatures.

Refer to the Polo Ralph Lauren size chart for kids' apparel. It's recommended to measure your child's chest and compare it to the gilet's measurements, paying attention to the UK size specification.

While designed with a 'Male' gender attribute, the style is generally unisex, and its suitability for girls would depend on personal preference and fit. Always check the specific measurements.

'Fill Power' is a measure of the loft or fluffiness of the down. 650 fill power indicates good quality down that provides significant warmth for its weight.

Wash only when necessary to preserve the down's loft and the water-repellent treatment. Spot clean minor stains if possible. Follow the care label instructions precisely when machine washing.

The water-repellent fabric helps to keep the wearer dry during light rain or splashes, preventing the down inside from getting wet and losing its insulating properties.

Place the gilet in a tumble dryer on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up clumps of down and restore loft.

The water-repellent finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting. For a more robust solution, consider using a specialized water-repellent spray designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.

Gently try to move the zipper while applying a small amount of lubricant like graphite from a pencil tip or a bit of wax to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
