Waterproof Field Protection
The outer fabric has a 10,000mm waterproof rating, providing dependable protection against wet countryside conditions.
A PFAS-free water-repellent finish encourages moisture to bead away from the surface, while the polyester lining provides a comfortable layer between the outer material and clothing underneath.
Breathable Outdoor Comfort
With a breathability rating of 5,000g/m²/24hr, the Ardross Pro allows moisture vapour to escape during active outdoor use.
This helps reduce the build-up of heat and moisture while walking, working or carrying equipment over longer distances.
Quilted Suedette Shoulders
Quilted suedette panels add comfort and warmth across the shoulders, where exposure to cold conditions is often most noticeable.
The panels also introduce a traditional countrywear detail that complements the gilet’s otherwise technical construction.
Generous Layering Fit
A generous cut provides room for movement and allows the gilet to be worn over shirts, knitwear and lightweight fleeces.
The sleeveless design keeps the arms unrestricted during physical work, shooting and other activities that require a wide range of upper-body movement.
Practical Handwarmer Pockets
Two upper zipped handwarmer pockets provide a sheltered place for cold hands while also offering secure storage for smaller essentials.
Their raised position keeps them accessible when the lower bellows pockets are full or when equipment is being carried.
Expandable Bellows Storage
Two deep lower bellows pockets provide generous open-top storage for gloves and other frequently used field equipment.
Their expandable construction increases capacity without making the gilet unnecessarily bulky when the pockets are empty.
Waterproof Seat Panel and Poacher’s Pocket
At the back of the gilet is a versatile waterproof panel that performs two practical functions.
When zipped into position, it doubles as a rear poacher’s pocket. Unzip the panel and allow it to drop down to create a waterproof seat, providing protection when sitting on damp grass, wet timber or other outdoor surfaces.
Designed for Field and Country Use
The Ardross Pro combines weather protection, storage and freedom of movement in a layer suited to shooting, beating, dog training, farming and estate work.
Its Dark Olive Green colouring and understated FieldPro branding coordinate naturally with traditional country clothing and other garments from the Ardross range.
