LeMieux Mens Hooded Puffer Gilet Water-Resistant Body Warmer
Description
LeMieux Mens Hooded Puffer Gilet — Water-Resistant Ripstop Body Warmer
The LeMieux Mens Hooded Puffer Gilet is a lightweight, water-resistant sleeveless body warmer made with micro ripstop fabric and a recyclable insulating fill. It is designed for male riders and yard staff who want warmth across the core with completely free arm movement for riding, mucking out, grooming and leading in-hand.
Best for autumn and winter yard work, hacking in dry to showery conditions, and layering under a heavier coat when the temperature drops. The detachable hood and two-way zip make it one of the more adaptable gilets to wear both on and off the horse.

How to Use
- Measure around the fullest part of your chest over a light base layer and compare with the size chart.
- If you plan to layer a fleece or jumper underneath, or you fall between sizes, choose the larger size.
- Attach the hood for wet days and adjust the drawcords for a close fit, or detach it completely when wearing a riding hat.
- Use the two-way zip to open the gilet from the hem before mounting so it sits flat over the saddle.
- Hang to dry after use in the wet and follow the sewn-in care label when washing.

FAQ
Is this gilet waterproof?
No. It has a durable water-resistant finish, which sheds light rain and damp but is not intended for prolonged heavy downpours. For sustained rain, wear it as a layer under a waterproof coat.
Can the hood be removed?
Yes. The hood is fully detachable and adjustable, so you can wear it up in poor weather or remove it entirely when riding in a hat.
What size should I order?
The gilet is cut to standard men's sizing. Measure your chest over a light layer and check the size chart. Size up if you intend to layer a thick jumper or fleece beneath it.
Is it suitable for riding in?
Yes. The sleeveless cut keeps the arms free and the two-way zip lets you open the gilet from the hem so it sits comfortably in the saddle.
What is the gilet made from?
The outer is a micro ripstop fabric with a water-resistant finish, insulated with a lightweight recyclable fill.
How should I care for it?
Fasten the zip and secure the hood before washing, then follow the sewn-in care label. Reproofing as directed on the label helps maintain the water-resistant finish.
