How to Pick the Right Kids Gilets
Trespass kids gilets and body warmers combine style and practicality, giving your child a reliable sleeveless layer that delivers warmth without restricting movement. Whether your little ones are climbing trees, cycling through the park, or helping around the house, these gilets are designed to keep them comfortable and ready for every adventure.
A kids gilet can be worn alone on mild days or layered with a fleece, hoodie, or school uniform when the temperature drops. With a collection that includes girls gilets and boys styles, Trespass offers plenty of favourites to choose from, all perfect for outdoor activities, school runs, or weekends away.
Different types of kids gilets are made to suit a range of seasons and activities:
- Insulated gilets: Padded gilets with synthetic or down fill for reliable warmth on cold days.
- Quilted gilets: Lightweight yet insulating, ideal for everyday outfits.
- Sports gilets: Breathable and flexible, perfect for active kids who enjoy running or cycling.
- Casual gilets: Simple styles that layer easily over jumpers or shirts.
With so many styles available, you can shop for the gilet that best suits your child’s activity and keeps them ready for any weather.
Materials & How They Work
The effectiveness of a kids gilet depends on the materials used:
- Acrylic: Warm and light, often used in knitwear.
- Cotton: Breathable and comfortable, though less effective when wet.
- Elastane (Spandex/Lycra): Adds stretch, ensuring freedom of movement.
- Down: Compressible and very warm, used in many padded gilets.
- PU (Polyurethane): Adds water resistance and flexibility.
- Polyamide: Strong, lightweight, and abrasion-resistant.
- Polyester: Quick-drying, durable, and easy to care for.
- Rayon: Smooth and breathable, often blended for comfort.
- Wool: Naturally warm and insulating.
By understanding these fabrics, you can decide whether your child needs a fleece gilet for layering or a padded gilet for maximum warmth in colder months.
Why Weather Resistance Matters
A kids gilet is more than a simple extra layer — it is a versatile piece that helps with keeping the child warm in unpredictable conditions. Padded gilets trap heat, while breathable body warmers prevent overheating during active play. Because they are sleeveless, gilets protect the torso but release excess heat, making them a practical choice for both the outdoors and everyday use. Pair them with outdoor trousers and footwear like walking boots for hiking, camping or playground exploration.
When shopping for a kids gilet, consider the details that make a difference:
- Insulation: Down or synthetic fill to provide dependable warmth.
- Lightweight options: Easy to pack and ready to wear as an extra layer.
- Breathable fabrics: Keep kids comfortable while on the move.
- Zipped pockets: Secure for small essentials.
- Slim fits: Perfect for layering under jackets.
Our collection of kids gilets includes colours like black, pink, blue, red, and navy, available across a wide range of sizes for both boys and girls. With so many styles and favourites, you can shop for the gilet that suits your child’s outfit and adventure.
The right kids gilet depends on how and where it will be worn:
- Everyday walks and school runs: Quilted gilets that are lightweight and easy to wear.
- Outdoor play and hiking: Insulated gilets that provide extra warmth with high collars.
- Cycling and sports: Sports gilets designed with breathable panels for active movement.
- Casual wear: Girls gilets and boys styles that pair easily with fleeces, trousers, and boots.
By matching the gilet to the season and activity, your child will stay comfortable, warm, and ready for anything.
