Read: Your Guide To The Layering System

Looking for a simple way to add comfort, versatility, and performance to your outdoor wardrobe? Check out our women’s vests & gilets. These lightweight layers are favourites for good reason—perfect for layering over a fleece or long-sleeve tee, and just right for keeping your core comfortable during walks, hikes, or travel. Our range features leading brands such as Rab, The North Face, and Patagonia, all recognised for top-quality outdoor gear.

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 women’s 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.

When choosing a gilet:

 

  • Purpose: Consider whether it's for casual wear, outdoor activities, or work. Different activities require different features like insulation, water resistance, or pocket space.
  • Fit: Ensure it fits well without being too tight or loose. Adjustable hems can help achieve a draught-free fit.
  • Materials: Choose between fleece for warmth, down for lightweight insulation, or synthetic materials for wet conditions.
  • Features: Look for features like multiple pockets, two-way zips, and windproof linings based on your needs.
