What to Compare Before Buying
Check the garment sizing and fit against your requirements. Water-repellent wording is not a waterproof rating, so check the stated protection if you need a defined level of rain resistance. Consider whether the zipped pockets and insulating property suit your needs.
Before You Decide
Confirm the fit, the level of water protection required and whether the listed pocket and insulating features match what you are looking for.
Layering and Fit
Check the fit over the shirt or mid-layer you expect to wear underneath. This helps you assess how the gilet will work with your intended layers without relying on the size alone.
