A gilet is also known as a body warmer, and with good reason as this type of sleeveless garment is designed to keep your torso warm.
It is the perfect choice for any outdoor activity on chilly summer mornings, where you want an extra layer, but don’t need one that covers your whole upper body; or during the colder months when worn under a coat but don’t want too many layers that might restrict the movement of your arms, such as when casting or landing a fish.
High quality fleece material
A gilet can be made from pretty much any material, but Korda have opted for a fleece material, as not only does it keep you warm and snug, but it also feels very nice to wear.
The Korda Fleece Gilet is a popular choice with anglers at any time of the year and you’ll have seen many of the Korda team wearing it in videos, but it is also fashionable enough to be a great option to be worn away from the bank, whether walking the dog, taking the kids to school, going shopping, or pretty much any activity that involves being outdoors and where a coat/jacket is going to be too warm or cumbersome.
A full length zip helps to regulate your body heat to the required level, plus makes it easy to put on and take off the gilet.
Designed to keep you warm
The Korda Fleece Gilet is made from a warm brushed fleece material which has great insulation qualities to keep your torso warm and protected from draughts.
But is still lightweight enough that you won’t over-heat and it can be worn all year round whenever it starts to feel a bit too chilly for whatever you’re wearing underneath it and need an extra layer.
Keep out draughts and your neck snug and warm
It has a collar to keep the back of your neck feeling snug and to prevent draughts from making your back feel cold, and is also long enough that it won’t ride up at the back when you bend over or sit down.
Made to last
This Fleece Gilet features a fleece that has an anti-piling finish to it, thus ensure that the garment will continue to look great on you even after extensive use and washing.
It has reinforced stitched seams plus edges to the garment, pockets and main zip that have been designed for longevity of use. All the zips used feature pullers for ease of opening and closure – with the garment edges helping to ensure that fabric can’t accidentally get caught in them.
Highly practical
Not only does the Korda Fleece Gilet keep you warm when you need it to, but it is also very lightweight such that you will hardly even notice that you’re wearing it, and it can easily be folded up and stowed in a bag , without taking up too much space, when not in use.
Zipped pockets - including zipped breast pocket
A zipped pocket on the breast is perfect for storing valuables such as car keys or a mobile phone, and there is also a larger zipped pocket at waist level on each side, which can either be used for storage or for keeping your hands warm, as they have a fleece inner.
The Fleece Gilet is available in a choice of olive green or black, so can be matched to other items of Korda clothing that you may own, and is available in sizes from small to XXXL.
