Velilla 108 multi-pocket padded gilet: warmth without losing your arms
The padded gilet is the most worn garment from October to April on building sites, in warehouses and in maintenance: it keeps the torso warm and leaves the arms free. This 108 has 220 g/m² filling between a 120 g/m² microfibre shell and a 60 g/m² lining, windproof armhole cuffs so air does not get in through the armpits, and seven pockets, including a bellows pocket with pen compartments.
✅ Features
220 g/m² filling: polyester wadding, the usual weight for a winter gilet for outdoor work.
Zip concealed under a storm flap: reinforced with press studs, so the wind does not get in through the fastening.
Windproof armhole cuffs: an inner piece that closes the arm opening, the point where most cold gets into a gilet.
Elasticated side waistband: fits at the waist and stops the gilet riding up when you bend down.
Seven pockets: one chest patch pocket with flap and Velcro; one chest bellows pocket with pen holder; two lower patch pockets with flap and Velcro, each with an extra side pocket underneath; and one inner patch pocket.
Seven colours: black, hunter green, white, grey, red, sand beige and navy blue.
👷 Suitable for
Building and construction in winter, over a jacket or jumper.
Warehouse, logistics and loading docks, where the door is always open.
Maintenance and field technicians getting in and out of vehicles.
Gardening, nurseries, municipal services and agriculture.
Livestock farming and outdoor work where arm mobility is needed.

🧺 Care
Machine wash on a gentle programme. Do not wring the garment: the filling becomes lumpy.
Dry flat or tumble dry at low temperature, shaking it halfway through to redistribute the wadding.
Do not iron over the padding: the 120 g/m² microfibre marks under direct heat.
No bleach and no high-temperature industrial washing.
💡 Tip: If you are torn between this 108 and the 105901 multi-pocket gilet, look at the filling: they are almost identical on the outside and share the seven colours, but the 105901 has no wadding and is lined with mesh. The 108 is the winter one. And when choosing your size, bear in mind that the gilet is worn over another garment: if you wear a chunky knit jumper or a jacket underneath, go up a size, because the elasticated waistband already provides enough fit.
