Buying the Right Mens Gilets for You
Our mens gilets are ideal when you need an extra layer for camping, hiking, or simply walking to the shops. Trespass gilets and body warmers are designed to perform in the great outdoors, keeping you warm, stylish, and comfortable. A mens gilet is built to keep your core insulated while its sleeveless design reduces bulk and allows natural temperature regulation during activity.
Choose from lightweight gilets, fleece body warmers, or a padded gilet for extra warmth. Whatever your activity, you will find a selection of mens gilets that fit easily into your outdoor wardrobe.
Different types of mens gilets are designed for specific activities and seasons:
- Insulated gilets: Padded with down or synthetic fill to lock in warmth.
- Quilted gilets: Lightweight and versatile, perfect for everyday layering.
- Sports gilets: Breathable and flexible, ideal for walking, cycling, or active pursuits.
- Casual gilets: Simple and stylish, easy to wear with a shirt or jumper.
From lightweight designs to insulated gilets, you can choose a gilet that balances warmth, mobility, and comfort.
Materials & How They Work
The performance of a mens gilet comes from its fabrics:
- Acrylic: Lightweight and warm, often used in knitwear.
- Cotton: Soft and breathable, though less effective when wet.
- Elastane (Spandex/Lycra): Adds freedom of movement.
- Down: Very warm, lightweight, and compressible.
- PU (Polyurethane): Provides water resistant protection in coatings.
- Polyamide: Strong, abrasion-resistant, and lightweight.
- Polyester: Quick-drying, durable, and easy-care.
- Rayon: Smooth, breathable, and comfortable.
- Wool: Naturally warm and insulating.
By knowing these materials, you can choose a padded gilet for winter warmth or a fleece gilet for layering in cooler months.
Why Weather Resistance Matters
A mens gilet does more than add style. It protects your core and provides reliable warmth in unsettled weather. Insulated gilets block cold wind and trap heat, while lightweight body warmers offer breathability for active days. With no sleeves, gilets keep the torso insulated but release excess heat through the arms, helping you regulate body temperature in changing conditions.
The best mens gilets include practical features that enhance comfort:
- Insulation: Down or synthetic fill for extra warmth.
- Lightweight options: Easy to wear as an extra layer or pack in a rucksack.
- Breathable fabrics: Prevent overheating.
- Zipped pockets: Secure essentials on the go.
- Slim fits: Work well under a waterproof jacket for layering.
Our collection includes mens gilets in black, blue, green, grey, brown, beige and red with sizes up to XXL. With so many styles and colours, it is easy to find the perfect padded gilet for your needs.
The right mens gilet depends on your lifestyle:
- Everyday wear: Quilted gilets for lightweight comfort.
- Hiking and walking: Insulated gilets with high collars for warmth.
- Running and cycling: Sports gilets with breathable panels.
- City and casual use: Casual gilets with clean designs that layer easily over shirts, hoodies, or knitwear.
By keeping your core warm without the bulk of sleeves, a gilet adapts to every activity and provides lasting comfort indoors and out.
