My is a quilted, water-repellent puffer-style gilet from the Didriksons Originals collection that has a cosy, thick collar and snap fasteners down the front. It has large openings for the arms that enable it to be worn over a coat or jacket. Made from a recycled lightweight polyester with a soft, matte finish. The gilet is padded with polyester fibre (75% recycled) that provides added volume and effective insulation. Classic fit that can be adjusted at the waist. Two front pockets with snap fasteners and side slits for greater ease of movement. The lining has been dyed using a solution dyeing technique. This technique saves up to 80% water compared to conventionally dyed fabric in the same material. PFC-free water-repellent finish.
Regular fit: The fit with classic measurements that feels just right with a thin top underneath but one that can also accommodate an extra mid-layer underneath if necessary Read about our different fits here..
