Diamond Quilted Longline Gilet - Red - Size 18

The Diamond Quilted Longline Gilet is ideal for Autumn and milder Winter weather. It's designed for layering to provide warmth during cooler conditions, rather than extreme cold.

While made of polyester, the description does not specify waterproof features. It will offer some protection against light drizzles, but it is not intended as a fully waterproof garment. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof layer is recommended.

The gilet is described as 'Womens Regular fit' and 'True to size'. We recommend purchasing your usual size. If you plan to wear very bulky jumpers underneath or prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up.

The product description mentions a 'drawstring hood' but does not indicate that it is detachable. Assume the hood is permanently attached.

It features popper-fastened pockets at the front, designed to keep your essentials secure.

The gilet is made from 100% Polyester for the main body, padding, and lining, ensuring warmth and durability.

For optimal warmth, layer the gilet over a cosy knitted jumper or a thermal long-sleeved top. Pair it with jeans and boots for a complete, warm outfit suitable for outdoor activities like dog walks or day trips.

Ensure your inner layers are not excessively thick. This gilet is 'true to size' for a 'regular fit', so if you plan on very heavy layering, consider sizing up or choosing thinner, yet warm, base layers. The longline design is meant to be generous, but not restrictive.

Confirm that the poppers are fully engaged by pressing firmly on each fastener until you hear a click. Avoid overfilling pockets, as this can put strain on the poppers.

This gilet is designed for Autumn and Winter but is best for cooler, not extreme, cold. Ensure you are layering effectively with appropriate thermal or wool jumpers underneath. It provides core warmth; for full body warmth in very cold conditions, a full coat with sleeves would be more appropriate.
