At a glance

The gilet is a three-layer construction with an outer softshell, a TPU waterproof membrane and a fleece lining that traps heat. According to the original specifications the garment offers 8000 mm H2O waterproofing, which helps in drizzly and changeable conditions. A full zip, chin guard and drawcord hem add small but useful details that reduce cold infiltration, while elasticated armpits and stretchy fabric preserve freedom of movement.

Benefits

Practicality is where this gilet stands out. The fleece lining warms without bulk, and the membrane gives credible protection from light rain and wind. Multiple pockets include zip and Velcro options to keep mobile, wallet and small kit secure when hiking or travelling. The sleeveless cut lets you layer over jumpers or under shells without restricting arms.

Best use cases

You’ll like it if you need a mid-layer for varied outdoor days, such as hiking, golfing, fishing or safaris, where warmth and pocketed storage matter. It works as an outer layer on mild days and as a mid-layer in colder weather. Take into account that heavy prolonged rain may require a fully taped raincoat for full waterproofing.

Getting the most from it

Wear over a base layer for active walks and use the drawcord to seal out drafts. Fit the hood when wind picks up and use zipped pockets for valuables. It’s easy to care for after trips, and the durable outer resists light abrasion and dirt. The 33,000ft softshell gilet balances protection and mobility for regular outdoor use.
