They layer under a shell jacket for maximum cold-weather versatility or work as the outer layer on mild days. At £200–350, they also represent a lower entry point than full insulated jackets (£300–450).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-top:14px;\"\u003eDo Sandbanks gilets run true to size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGilets are cut slightly slimmer than Sandbanks jackets. For wearing as an outer layer over a t-shirt or shirt, your usual size is correct. If you plan to layer a mid-weight hoodie or fleece underneath, size up by one to maintain comfortable movement and coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-top:14px;\"\u003eAre Sandbanks gilets warm enough for winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn mild winter conditions (above approximately 5°C) or when combined with a base layer and shell, yes. Thermore® Ecodown® insulation provides strong warmth-to-weight performance and — crucially — maintains that warmth when damp. For sustained exposure below freezing, the insulated parkas (£550–900) provide greater fill weight and coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-top:14px;\"\u003eWhat makes Sandbanks gilets different from non-recycled alternatives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery material element — RPET outer, Thermore® Ecodown® fill, Lampo® zippers — is either recycled or manufactured with certified sustainability standards. bluesign® and OEKO-TEX certifications verify this independently. The result is equivalent performance to conventional insulated gilets with significantly lower virgin resource use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-top:14px;\"\u003eWhen should I choose a gilet over a full jacket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Sandbanks gilet is ideal when you want core warmth without restricting your arms — country pursuits, golf, dog walks, layering under a coat in deep winter, or transitional spring–autumn wear over a knit or polo. A full jacket gives all-round wind and rain protection but is heavier and less flexible for active wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-top:14px;\"\u003eHow does a Sandbanks gilet compare to a Barbour gilet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandbanks gilets use recycled ocean-bound plastic shell with Thermore® Ecodown® synthetic insulation; Barbour gilets typically use waxed cotton or quilted polyamide with traditional polyester wadding.
