With options for both boys and girls, our children’s gilets keep pace with every outdoor pursuit.

Why choose kids’ gilets and waistcoats for country living and outdoor play?

Children’s gilets and waistcoats offer freedom of movement, vital for active kids who love the outdoors. These versatile layers are quick to put on or peel off, adapting to changeable British weather or high-energy activities. Wearing a bodywarmer or quilted gilet over a jumper means children are comfortable during family walks, farm visits or countryside events, while still looking smart for days out or casual gatherings.

Key features and how to pick the best gilet or waistcoat for your child

When choosing a kids’ gilet or waistcoat, look for weather-resistant fabrics such as ripstop or water-repellent finishes, secure zip or popper closures, and practical pockets for little treasures. Lightweight insulation ensures warmth without bulk, and adjustable hems or elastic armholes improve comfort as children grow. Choose quilted patterns or classic tweed style for added British country flair.

Consider sizing with room for layering - children’s bodywarmers should easily fit over midweight jumpers, or under waterproofs when needed. Reflective details and bright colours may also help keep younger children visible. Our carefully curated selection ensures lasting quality and style for any rural adventure.
