A gilet is one of the most versatile items of outdoor clothing you can own. Our women's gilets (also known as vests or body warmers) leverage our insulation experience to create a mid-layer that offers the comfort and warmth of an insulated jacket without having to wear a full coat.
The perfect outer layer over a long sleeve baselayer top or sweatshirt on chilly days, or an additional layer of insulation in your layering system on a cold day under your waterproof jacket, the gilet has plenty of uses. While fans of the outdoors have been championing the body warmer for years, women's down gilets have never been more stylish. The Rab® range features down vests, synthetic gilets and fleece gilets to choose from.
