Flexible Active Fabric

The polyester and spandex construction gives the fabric a comfortable degree of stretch, helping the gilet move with the body during outdoor work.

Its sleeveless design leaves the arms free for lifting, carrying and other physical tasks, making it a useful alternative to a full jacket in milder conditions.

Durable Ripstop Construction

Patched 450D TC ripstop fabric contributes additional durability for regular countryside use.

The ripstop structure is designed to withstand the demands of active work, making the Ardross a dependable layer for the farm, field or workshop.

Secure Front Storage

Two vertical zipped chest pockets provide convenient storage for smaller items that need to remain within easy reach.

Two further vertical zipped pockets at the hips offer additional secure space for keys, gloves and everyday outdoor essentials.

Large Rear Poacher’s Pocket

A spacious poacher’s pocket extends across the back of the gilet, providing useful storage for larger items.

Zipped access from both sides makes it easier to reach the pocket with either hand while helping keep its contents securely contained.

Versatile Year-Round Layering

The Ardross can be worn over a country shirt or fleece during mild weather, or beneath a waterproof coat when additional core coverage is required.

Its practical design makes it useful throughout the seasons without adding the bulk or arm restriction of a heavier insulated jacket.

Coordinated Country Style

The understated Green colour pairs naturally with checked shirts, field trousers and traditional countryside clothing.

It also coordinates with other garments from the Ardross range, allowing a practical matching outdoor outfit to be assembled.
