- Layering: Consider what you plan to wear underneath or over the gilet.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The gilet is described as suitable for layering over a JCB polo shirt, T-shirt or fleece, and under a JCB waterproof jacket. The stated cut is unisex and the size range is XS to 5XL. No garment measurements are provided here, so use the sizing details for the selected size when choosing.

Choosing the Correct Version
A navy and black colourway is also stated to be available, with the same listed shell fabric and weight, wadding, thermal rating, lining and size range. Choose the colour you prefer and check that the selected version matches.
Before You Decide
Check the size, colour and layering plan. Keep in mind that a water-repellent finish is not a substitute for a waterproof jacket in prolonged rain.
