Mens Lightweight Body Warmer Gilet Windproof Showerproof With Inside Lining

Very pleased with this. I ordered a Large size and whilst generous, it is not oversized, even just over a shirt. Equally it would not be too small over a jumper so it's just about right. I am normally M or L, according to the cut of a garment. I bought the gilet as a photographer's accessory and it should prove useful in this respect. It is reasonably smart and nicely finished. I chose the camel colour which is like a light khaki and very suitable for nature photography.The pockets are of variable sizes (I don't believe any two are identical) and are either zipped or with a strong press stud, with the exception of the two internal pockets which have Velcro tabs for fastening. I'm not so keen on these as the tabs can become unstitched with use.The gilet is quite loose at the bottom but can be gathered in with the adjustable cord. Overall, a good design.

I got this for my husband and he loves it and has already worn it quite a few times. It is of good quality and has plenty of pockets for carrying all those bits and bibs. Women carry handbags but men need lots of pockets! If he is walking the dog, he is able to carry dog biscuits, car keys, wallet, mobile phone etc,etc. It has 2 inside pockets which have a Velcro fastening and these are particularly handy. He is also a keen photographer and again the various pockets are ideal for carrying bits and pieces. He has a warm heavyweight gilet for wearing in the winter but this lightweight gilet is ideal for summer wear. It is washable so is easy to care for. Altogether this is a useful buy which you are likely to get lots of wear out of. As other reviewers have recommended, I bought this in a bigger size than I would normally buy for him, feeling that it would not matter if it was slightly big.

Fit is the most problematical aspect of ordering clothing online. I like loose fits, and before the age of internet buying, I was used to trying on items labelled "large" and finding them a decent fit on my 42" chest, whereas I have been disappointed more than once with an online, so-called "large" fit. Happily, this garment offers exactly the nice, loose fit that we old fellows tend to prefer (and over a corduroy shirt, too), and I therefore consider it to be just right. If I had wanted a snug fit, however, perhaps to reveal a firm, svelte outline, I would have been disappointed. Snug it ain't.The last microfibre gilet I bought didn't wash nicely. It became very soft and, well, kind of flabby. I have to wait to see how this one behaves, but probably not too long, given I bought the light camel.Otherwise, I like the waist-gathering cord with its secure fastening, the pocket assortment is all anyone but the most extreme gadget-laden could wish for, and it's really nicely put together. So, no complaints yet, and that means five stars.

This is simply superb value for money, such a quality item, well made and beautifully soft material. Nice and light so ideal for wearing a sweater underneath. Size is very generous, I’m normally a large but ordered a medium after reading reviews, glad I did, it fits perfectly, thevkargecwould have been many ch to big.I can’t rate this highly enough, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon.

Ordered Friday afternoon and it arrived Saturday morning and it was not a Prime item so I was pleasantly surprised how quick it came. Size appears to be spot on and exactly what I wanted. I would say the sizing is close to M&S clothes sizes.It is also better quality than I expected. The material is lovely and soft and all of the fastenings work properly. It appears to be well finished and has plenty of useful pockets. This is much better than one I bought on the high street.

Excellent jacket. Lots of sensible-sized pockets with good closures [only one with annoying Velcro that is hard to open and catches your hand when you put it in] and comfy to wear. Just the job for walking the dogs and having treats and poo bags and so on to hand. very well made and high quality for a good price.

I bought this for my husband to use on those not so cold days because he has to have lots of pockets! It looks great, he is extremely happy with the multitude of pockets which vary in size and style. I ordered him a medium which is his normal size, the gilet comes up a little on the large side which he is more than happy with as it means the air circulates around when worn with a t-shirt and it fits great over a zip up hoody.

What I expected and what I got was a disappointment. i.e. The item itself seems well made and had the right of pockets required for what I needed. But, although the maker says it is windproof and showerproof it is not the thickness I was looking for. I am a keen allotmenteer and regardless of the weather, I attend my garden every day. For summer months it would probably be a delight to wear, however, for Autumn, Winter, and Spring, I do not think it would give the warmth and protectin I would need.
