The Mountain Warehouse Opal Women's Padded Gilet is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight yet warm layering piece for autumn and winter. Its key benefit is providing superior warmth without bulk, thanks to its microfiber filling and DWR-coated fabric that offers protection against light showers. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for light rain or damp conditions rather than heavy downpours. This gilet is a versatile wardrobe essential, perfect for everyday wear and outdoor activities.

The Opal Women's Padded Gilet features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which makes it resistant to light showers and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
The gilet is filled with microfiber, which provides lightweight insulation and warmth.
This gilet is excellent for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it over a warm base layer and potentially under a heavier outer jacket for maximum warmth.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry from light moisture.
After several washes, the DWR treatment can diminish. You can restore its effectiveness by washing the gilet and then applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.
Yes, its lightweight, insulating, and water-resistant properties make it a great choice for hiking in cool or damp conditions, especially as a mid-layer.
Ensure the gilet is properly dried after washing. Tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls can help redistribute and re-fluff the microfiber filling.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need replenishing. Wash the gilet and then apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product according to the product's instructions.
