Who did we design it for?

For hikers and travellers who want to keep their core warm in the shoulder seasons or at a mountain hut, without restricting their arms. Wear it on its own or under a jacket.

How warm is it?

More insulating than a standard fleece gilet: the hollow fibres of our CIMATHERM® technology retain warmth around your core in a 300 g/m² fabric. Wear it alone or under a jacket.

How well does it protect against wind and rain?

It is neither windproof nor waterproof: under a protective jacket, it keeps your core warm when the weather turns.

What makes it different?

A sleeveless gilet that keeps your torso warm while leaving your arms free. Its thick fleece, lined with pile, fits easily under a pack or jacket.

Warmth for your core, freedom for your arms

On the trail, between seasons or at the mountain hut, your core is the first to get cold. Your arms need room to move: to walk, carry a pack or pull on a jacket.

This gilet keeps warmth around your chest and back with thick fleece that’s soft on the outside and lined with dense pile on the inside. The fabric moves with you, the high collar covers your neck, and three zipped pockets keep essentials close at hand.

A useful gilet is one you forget you’re wearing: on its own between seasons, or under a protective jacket when the cold sets in.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate its warmth and comfort: several find it warm, soft and pleasant to wear, while still remaining fairly lightweight. Its fit is considered comfortable and not overly sporty, making it well suited to mid-season wear and sunny winter hikes, keeping the torso and back warm while leaving the arms free. The sizing is often described as very close-fitting: if you are between sizes or plan to wear it over thicker layers, choose one size up. The soft, plush lining and neat finishes are also praised.

Bought for the mid-season, it's proven to be an excellent piece to wear over a base layer or a lightweight fleece to keep your chest and back warm while leaving your arms free. Regarding the size, many have commented and recommended going up a size... I recommend paying attention because it depends on how you use it: if, as I wrote above, you use it over a base layer or something lightweight, your usual size is fine. If, however, you want to wear it over other thicker garments, it might feel a bit snug or tight, but in my opinion, that wouldn't be its ideal use. I found the size I normally wear to be just right.

Excellent quality, very well fitted, very warm. The size L is more like a M compared to other products from the brand, as indicated by all the reviews (perfect for my 1.79m and 74kg).

The description on the website is accurate, the lining is very comfortable, and the cut is flattering—offering excellent lower back protection during activities. I had to order a size up. The logo is discreet, making it easier to wear in any situation! A real plus...

I am between two sizes, M and L. I chose L to have enough ease and comfort. I am 1.77 m tall and weigh 70 kg.
