Product Information

Full details

The Barbour International Brantley Heavyweight Gilet is designed for adults seeking a versatile, transitional layering piece that provides warmth without sacrificing mobility. Featuring a synthetic fill and a flattering regular fit, this sleeveless garment is ideal for brisk morning walks or running errands on cooler days. While it excels as a mid-layer under a heavy coat for extreme cold, those living in consistently harsh winter climates may find the sleeveless design insufficient as a standalone outer layer.

FAQs

Can I wear this under a winter coat?

Yes, the Brantley Gilet is specifically designed to be slim enough to act as an effective mid-layer.

Is the gilet waterproof?

The gilet is intended for warmth and is not classified as waterproof; it is best paired with a shell in wet weather.

How do I determine my size?

This model follows standard UK sizing; for the XXL variant, it corresponds to a UK size 18.

Does it have an internal pocket?

No, storage is provided by the two external hip pockets.

Can I machine wash this garment?

Most Barbour synthetic garments are machine washable, but always check the care label on your specific garment for the manufacturer's recommended settings.

Is the collar high enough to block wind?

Yes, the stand collar is designed to be zipped up to the top for neck and chin protection.

Troubleshooting

The waist drawcord feels loose or slips.

Ensure the toggle lock is fully engaged after pulling the cord to the desired tension.

The front zipper sticks.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and clear any debris with a soft, dry cloth.

Insulation feels uneven after washing.

Gently shake and pat the garment after drying to help redistribute the synthetic fill evenly.

  • Adjustable drawcord for a personalized, flattering fit
  • Compact and lightweight for easy travel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gilet, always refer to the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Generally, synthetic-fill items should be washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the insulation. Avoid using heavy softeners that can clog the fabric's properties. For sizing, the gilet follows standard women's apparel sizing; choose your usual size if you prefer a slim look, or size up if you intend to layer heavy knitwear underneath. When storing, hang the gilet in a cool, dry place to ensure the quilting retains its shape.
