The terms gilet and waistcoat are sometimes used synonymously to define a garment that has no sleeves and is quilted or puffed to give extra insulation for the upper body. A gilet keeps your midsection warm while allowing your arms to move freely, a feature you won’t get with a coat. That is why gilets are so appealing among outdoor enthusiasts since you need your arms to be free when hunting. Many athletic gilets come with numerous pockets to keep all of your essentials close to reach. Donning a classic woven waistcoat also provides a bit of comfort amidst harsher weather conditions. Read on if you want to know the best waistcoats and gilets to purchase for your upcoming hunting trip.

A gilet is a great layering piece for the transitional seasons since it adds warmth without restricting movement. Gilets were traditionally made to fit and worn in the same way as a waistcoat. But they are now commonly used as an outer layer to keep you warm as the weather begins to cool. Puffer, fleece, quilted gilets, and waistcoats are more informal and outdoorsy, but they have a great deal of adaptability. Consider the options we have for you when shopping for outfits for your next hunting trip.
