Product Overview
The Nimbus Women’s Vermont down gilet is a sophisticated layering solution designed for those who require thermal efficiency without the unnecessary bulk of a full jacket. Engineered with a focus on urban versatility and core warmth, this gilet serves as an essential component for the variable British climate. Whether worn over a professional shirt in autumn or as an insulating layer beneath a heavier coat during winter, it provides a refined silhouette that does not compromise on functional performance or comfort.
Key Features
700 Fill Power Down Insulation: Utilising a high-quality blend of duck down and feathers, this gilet offers exceptional warmth-to-weight performance, trapping heat effectively while remaining impressively lightweight.
Bionic Finish ECO: This sustainable, water-repellent treatment ensures that light rain beads off the surface, protecting the down from moisture and maintaining its critical loft and insulating properties.
YKK Metalux Main Zipper: The inclusion of a premium YKK metal zipper ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability, preventing the common frustrations associated with snagging or mechanical failure.
Hidden Zippered Side Pockets: These discreetly integrated pockets provide secure storage for essential items or a warm refuge for hands, all while maintaining the garment’s streamlined, professional aesthetic.
Design & Performance
The Vermont gilet is constructed from a 100% nylon outer and lining, creating a durable yet smooth finish that facilitates easy layering. The insulation comprises 90% duck down and 10% duck feather, providing a natural thermal barrier that is superior to synthetic alternatives in terms of compressibility and heat retention. Despite its significant warmth, the gilet remains a lightweight garment, ensuring that freedom of movement is preserved—a critical factor for active professionals and commuters alike. The inclusion of Bionic Finish ECO technology reflects a modern commitment to sustainable performance, offering water resistance without the use of harmful fluorocarbons. The feminine cut ensures a professional appearance that transitions seamlessly from the office to external site visits.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The high-quality nylon surface of the Vermont gilet is well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for a tailored professional appearance. Embroidery is the recommended choice for corporate logos or staff names, offering a textured, durable finish that conveys a sense of established authority and attention to detail. This method is particularly resilient, ensuring your branding remains intact through regular use.
For larger, more graphic designs or promotional branding, our high-definition printing processes provide sharp, vibrant results that stand out against the gilet’s sleek fabric. Every customisation project is managed in-house at our Telford facility, where our experienced team ensures that your branding is applied with the precision that our customers have expected since 1976.
Use Cases
This gilet is an ideal choice for corporate professionals who require a smart, practical outer layer for site visits or travel. It is equally suited to outdoor event staff, hospitality teams working in draughty environments, or as a premium addition to a corporate uniform. Its versatile design makes it appropriate for both professional settings and weekend pursuits where a touch of elegance is required.

Practical Advice
The Vermont gilet is designed with a feminine, tailored fit. For those intending to wear it over thicker knitwear or several layers, we recommend reviewing the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit that still allows for ease of movement. As a down-filled product, it can be easily compressed for travel, but should be given a quick shake upon unpacking to restore its natural loft and insulating air pockets.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your down gilet, proper maintenance is essential. Regular care ensures the down remains fluffy and the water-repellent finish remains effective over time.
Avoid the use of biological detergents or fabric softeners. These chemicals can strip the natural oils from the down feathers and clog the fibres of the nylon shell, which will significantly reduce the garment's insulating properties and compromise the water-repellent finish.
When washing, ensure all zippers are closed to prevent the metal teeth from snagging the delicate outer fabric. Following the specific wash temperature indicated on the internal label will prevent the fabric from shrinking and ensure the structural integrity of the seams remains intact, keeping the down filling evenly distributed.
