Coat-length warmth with the arms left out of it. This padded gilet falls to mid-thigh, so it covers a jumper properly and keeps the upper legs out of the wind, while the open armholes leave you free to drive, carry bags or work outdoors without a sleeve fighting the movement.

Wide horizontal quilt channels give the padding loft without letting it balloon, and the cut stays close enough through the body that the extra length never reads as shapeless. A lined hood sits soft against the back of the neck and lifts when the weather turns, and the full-length zip runs uninterrupted from hem to chin. Zip pockets on both sides keep hands warm and keys where you left them, which a patch pocket cannot promise. It is lined and padded throughout, so it takes a fleece or a knit underneath easily, and the length means you can sit down outside without the cold coming straight through.

Sizes run 4-6 / S to 20-22 / 2XL in Black, Dark Brown, Olive Green, Orange, Navy Blue and Pink, in a regular fit that is true to size with room to layer. Our model is 5'6" and wears size S. Machine wash or send it for professional dry cleaning.
