Our new gilet is made from a slate coloured shell with a 90% duck down / 10% feather filling. This is a warm but lightweight layer without bulk. The difference is the quilting; instead of stitch rows, the parallel compartments are formed with heat embossing – sealing the outer and inner shell.  Two zipped side pockets form additional internal pockets and we’ve added a two-way zip. The gilet can be neatly packed into a small pouch making it easy to carry around or pack.
