Troubleshooting
Gilet not fully waterproof after washing
Ensure the fabric care instructions (especially regarding detergents and fabric softeners) were followed. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's water-repellent properties.
Child feels cold while wearing the gilet
The Alex Gilet is designed for 'in-between' weather. For colder conditions, consider layering a warmer jumper underneath or using a heavier coat over the gilet.
Zipper is difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant on the zipper teeth might help.
