What to Compare Before Buying
- Fit and length: The stated length is for UK size M. Check a size-specific measurement if the length is important to your fit choice.
- Weather protection: The shell is described as water-resistant, but no protection rating or conditions are specified. Check that this meets your intended requirements.
- Storage: The garment is described as packing into its included drawstring bag; check that this arrangement suits your needs.
What Is Included
An included drawstring bag is provided for packing the gilet.
Before You Decide
Confirm that navy and size S are the version you want, and use size-specific measurements rather than the size M length when judging fit. Consider whether the stated water resistance is sufficient for the conditions you have in mind.
Check the Layering Fit
If you plan to wear the gilet over a jumper or other mid-layer, check the fit with that layer on. This can help you judge whether the regular fit leaves the room you want through the shoulders and chest.
