Hiking Gilets & Body Warmers Read More

A gilet - also known as a sleeveless jacket, vest, padded/insulated vest or body warmer - is a brilliant choice for hikers, scramblers and climbers seeking warmth without restrictions. By keeping your core warm while leaving your arms free, a gilet allows for excellent mobility so is ideal for use when hiking using Trekking Poles or when scrambling or rock climbing. Gilets are available in a range of insulation types including down, synthetic, fleece and softshell, making them easy to match to the weather. Lightweight and highly packable, a gilet vest is ideal to stash in your backpack and throw on when the temperature drops. Gilets also shine when it comes to layering - they work perfectly as a mid-layer beneath a Waterproof Shell Jacket or as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions. Compared to full-sleeve jackets, Gilets offer improved breathability and help regulate body temperature during intense activity. This makes them a top pick for temperature control in unpredictable mountain weather.
