Product Information
Full details
The Joules Girls Crofton Gilet in Pink is designed for active young girls who need an extra layer of warmth without sacrificing mobility. Its key benefit is providing showerproof protection and insulation through chevron quilting and wadding, making it ideal for outdoor play on cooler, damp days. A minor consideration is that it's a gilet, offering core warmth but not full arm coverage.

FAQs
What age group is this gilet suitable for?
This gilet is designed for children. The specific size available is UK 5 Years, but Joules offers this style in various sizes for different age groups.
Is the gilet waterproof or just showerproof?
The gilet is described as 'showerproof', meaning it can withstand light rain or drizzle for a limited time. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the main material of the gilet?
The main material is 100% Nylon.
Can this gilet be worn in very cold weather?
The gilet provides warmth and is ideal for layering. For very cold weather, it should be worn as part of a layering system, potentially under a warmer coat or jacket.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart for Joules children's wear. The available size is UK 5 Years, but other sizes are offered for different age groups.
What does the 'hand-me-down label' mean?
The internal label has a dedicated space for writing a child's name, making it easy to identify the owner and pass the gilet on to another child when they outgrow it.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the gilet features two zipped side pockets, which helps to keep items secure.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also try rubbing a pencil lead (graphite) or a small amount of candle wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Ensure the chin guard is not obstructing the zipper.
Gilet has lost some of its showerproof quality.
Re-apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for clothing after washing, following the product's instructions. Ensure the gilet is clean before applying any treatment.
Gilet appears less puffy or warm after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute the wadding and restore loft.
