GILETS

When you want an extra layer of warmth without losing freedom of movement, a gilet is the perfect solution. Designed to keep your core insulated while leaving your arms free, these versatile bodywarmers fit seamlessly into any layering system. Throw one over a jumper, pullover, or shirt, and you’ve got reliable comfort for everything from crisp morning walks to blustery mountain trails.

Lightweight yet warm, gilets are a go‑to piece for active pursuits like hiking, climbing, or camping, while also being practical enough for everyday outings; think dog walks on the beach or gathering the family for that photo‑worthy moment in the hills. Many styles are made with technical insulation to trap heat effectively while maintaining breathability, so you don’t overheat on the move.

A gilet is a sleeveless jacket designed to keep your core warm while allowing full arm mobility. Often called a bodywarmer, the terms are largely interchangeable, though gilets tend to have a slimmer fit. They’re perfect for layering over shirts or under jackets for added insulation during outdoor activities or casual wear. 

Gilets are ideal for transitional weather—when it’s too cold for just a shirt but not cold enough for a full jacket. They’re versatile for walking, hiking, camping, or everyday use, providing warmth without restricting movement. You can wear them as an outer layer or under a jacket for extra insulation in colder conditions. 

Gilets come in various styles, including fleece for lightweight warmth, quilted or padded for insulation, and technical gilets with features like windproofing or multiple pockets. Some are made for high-output activities, while others focus on comfort and classic outdoor style. Choose based on your activity and desired warmth. 

A slim fit is recommended for maximum warmth and layering flexibility. A close fit traps body heat effectively and makes it easy to wear a jacket over the top. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up for comfort and mobility. 

Gilets are made from a range of materials, including fleece for softness, synthetic or down insulation for warmth, and technical fabrics for weather resistance. Some feature recycled or eco-friendly materials, while others prioritise durability and abrasion resistance for rugged outdoor use.
