A sherpa gilet for layered warmth

There are days when a full fleece is too much but bare arms won’t do, and that’s the gap this gilet fills. The high-pile sherpa keeps your core warm over a base layer or under a shell, and it leaves your arms free to get on with things, which makes it a natural for cool-but-active days. Zipped hand pockets give cold fingers somewhere to go, and the drawcord hem keeps the draught out.

  • Sleeveless cut layers easily under a shell
  • Zippered hand pockets warm and secure
  • Drawcord-adjustable hem seals out draughts
  • High-pile sherpa fleece for core warmth
  • Woven overlay adds structure and durability
  • Shell: Sherpa Pile 100% Polyester
  • Trim: 100% Nylon

  • Measuring environmental impact in the supply chain - Columbia has been using the Higg Index Facility Environmental Module to assess supplier performance across energy, waste, water and chemical impacts since 2013, with consistently positive improvements year on year.
  • Conservation through partnership - Columbia partners with leading non-profit organisations including Conservation International and Ocean Conservancy to help preserve outdoor environments and ensure natural spaces remain accessible for future generations.

They say, “Tough times never last, only tough people do,” and Columbia is living proof of it. This story starts in 1938 with a small Portland hat shop, but it was Gert Boyle, the woman who became known as Tough Mother, who gave the brand its backbone. She took on a struggling family business in 1970 and refused, against every expectation, to let it go under. What carried her through wasn’t ambition so much as stubbornness: a flat refusal to accept gear that didn’t quite do its job. That same stubborn problem-solving still runs through everything Columbia makes. How do you stay out when it’s pouring? When it’s freezing? When the sun’s relentless? Their answer has always been visible, genuinely useful innovation — the Interchange 3-in-1 jacket system, Omni-Heat reflective lining, OutDry Extreme waterproofing — the sort of tech that keeps you outdoors longer and more comfortably.
