Men's Lightweight Down Gilet

Not had it on yet, but looks good & nice like

Looked at lots of options but went for the Jottnar Asta in eclipse. It’s a gorgeous colour. The gilet fits perfectly, lightly elasticated under the arm to give that comfortable, snug fit and slightly longer at the back to give extra warmth….. it’s very warm. It goes without saying with Jottnar products; it is beautifully made and finished. It’s my third Jottnar jacket. They never fail to deliver on performance and aethestic. Great brand, great products.

Though it’s far too warm to wear at the moment in the heatwave the quality of this gilet stands out, lightweight, beautifully made and with great features. I particularly like the elasticated armpits which will keep the draughts at bay. All in all a very well made and snug gilet which I’m sure will keep me warm this coming winter.

I didn’t follow the old adage off ‘when climbing, dress for the second mile, not the first’ because when I unpacked my Gilet i was disappointed with its thickness! Needless to say I was a mile in and stripping base layers off! Deceivingly warm! Love it

I have had my Astra Gillet for a couple of months now and I have mixed feelings. On the one hand it’s warm and comfortable but on the other hand I frequently have feathers poke through, sometimes I can pull them back from the other side, but often it’s by seams where this isn’t possible. This has unfortunately put me off buying the Thorne jacket as I often feel I have to be extra careful when wearing the gillet which I don’t have with other down clothing I own. However I mainly use this for my office and it looks smart and I’ve been asked about the brand a few times. This is hard to write as the customer service from Jottnar is great and I have other products which I love. I’m still planning on buying some mid layers as this has definitely not put me off the brand but has made me a bit cautious of what items I do purchase.
