Read: Your Guide To The Layering System
Whether you need an insulated vest for chilly mornings, a women’s gilet with a water-repellent finish for splashy weather, or a lightweight running vest for active days, you’ll find plenty of options here. Browse synthetic and down-filled ladies gilets, eco-friendly choices with recycled fabrics, and practical features like zip pockets, high necks, and adjustable hems.
Great for quick walks, weekend trips, or as an extra layer on the move, these women’s vests are loved for their fit and flexibility.
It depends on your preference for fit and intended use. If you want a relaxed fit or plan to layer underneath, buying a size bigger might be suitable. However, for optimal warmth and comfort, a snug fit is generally recommended to prevent cold air from entering.
Top brands for gilets include The North Face, known for their technical performance and style, and Rab, which offers high-quality down gilets like the Rab Microlight Down Gilet. Fjällräven also provides excellent options with sustainable materials and warmth.
