Product Information

Full details

This Joules Boys Crofton Gilet in Blue, Size 2, is designed for active young boys, offering a lightweight yet warm layer for outdoor adventures. Its primary benefit is providing protection from light showers and a touch of insulation, while a potential caveat is that it is best suited for mild weather conditions rather than heavy rain or extreme cold. Key features include showerproof fabric, chevron quilting for warmth, a zip fastening with a chin guard, and convenient zipped side pockets.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

The Crofton Gilet has a showerproof finish, which is suitable for light rain or drizzle. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What is the main material of the gilet?

The main material for the outer and lining is 100% Nylon. The wadding is 100% Polyester.

How do I find the right size for my child?

Please refer to the brand's sizing guide for children's UK sizes. This specific product is listed as Size 2.

Can I put this gilet in the washing machine?

Yes, the gilet is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colours.

Does the gilet have a hood?

No, this model of the Crofton Gilet does not come with a hood. It features a collar for neck warmth.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the two side pockets are secured with zippers, helping to keep contents safe.

What does the hand-me-down label mean?

The hand-me-down label is an internal tag where you can write your child's name. It's a feature designed by Joules to make it easier to pass the garment on to another child when it's outgrown.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. Rubbing a pencil lead or a bit of lip balm along the zipper teeth can sometimes help lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Gilet has lost its water-repellent quality

After washing, apply a water-repellent spray suitable for outerwear, following the product's instructions. Ensure the gilet is clean before application.

Wadding appears lumpy after washing

Gently fluff the gilet by hand after washing and before drying. Tumble drying on a low heat setting with a couple of clean tennis balls can also help redistribute the wadding.

Colour fading

Always wash the gilet inside out and with colours of a similar shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
