Le Col Pro All Weather Gilet review: warmth, protection and pockets but barely packable

Le Col Pro All Weather Gilet, front view.

The Le Col Pro All Weather Gilet has been designed specifically for protection across a range of different weather conditions. Made primarily of Polartec® Power Shield® breathable weatherproof fabric front and rear, it’s more heavily focused on cooler conditions than a front protection gilet with a predominately mesh rear. The Polartec fabric is made up of a grid mesh internal structure designed to use air to both insulate and also allow for better breathability. It is windproof and water resistant.

In Le Col speak: “The fabric uses a new molecular diffusion technology designed to move water vapour out of the fabric while maintaining a barrier against water droplets. Free from micropores, it won’t lose breathable performance over time and can withstand stretching, washing and the brutal winter elements.”
