Belstaff Chassis Gilet

Lightweight Down Warmth. Built for Versatile Layering.

The Belstaff Chassis Gilet delivers impressive insulation without the weight and bulk of a traditional down jacket. Constructed from lightweight four-way stretch fabric and insulated with premium 750-fill-power down, it combines warmth, freedom of movement and packability in a clean, contemporary design.

A water-repellent finish provides protection from light showers, while zipped pockets and a streamlined regular fit make the Chassis an exceptionally versatile layer for travelling, everyday wear and changing weather.

DESIGN & INSPIRATION

The Chassis takes the warmth of a traditional down gilet and updates it with modern technical materials.

Its lightweight stretch construction allows the garment to move naturally with the body, while the high-quality down insulation provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio without unnecessary bulk.

The result is a highly adaptable piece that works as lightweight outerwear in milder conditions or as an insulating layer beneath a heavier jacket when temperatures fall.

750-FILL-POWER DOWN

At the heart of the Chassis is premium 750-fill-power down, providing high levels of insulation while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.

Higher-quality down traps more insulating air for its weight, allowing the Chassis to deliver:

• Excellent warmth-to-weight performance
• Lightweight insulation
• Reduced bulk
• Greater compressibility
• Comfortable freedom of movement

This makes the gilet particularly useful when you want effective warmth without the restrictive feel of heavier outerwear.

FOUR-WAY STRETCH COMFORT

The outer fabric combines 85% recycled polyamide with 15% elastane, creating a four-way stretch construction that moves naturally with the wearer.

This provides:

• Excellent freedom of movement
• Flexible everyday comfort
• Reduced restriction
• Comfortable layering
• A cleaner, more streamlined fit

The stretch construction makes the Chassis particularly versatile for active everyday use and travel.

WATER-REPELLENT PROTECTION

The outer fabric is treated with a water-repellent finish, helping protect against light rain and passing showers.

This makes the Chassis a practical option for changeable conditions while retaining its lightweight and breathable character.

It is important to note that water repellent does not mean fully waterproof, so a waterproof outer layer is recommended for prolonged or heavy rain.

RECYCLED NYLON

The Chassis uses recycled polyamide (nylon) within its outer fabric.

Recycled nylon helps keep existing nylon waste out of landfill while retaining the strength and durability that make nylon particularly suitable for lightweight technical outerwear.

Body composition:

• 85% Recycled Polyamide
• 15% Elastane

RESPONSIBLE DOWN STANDARD

The down used in the Chassis is covered by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).

The RDS is designed to provide assurance that down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm, while supporting greater traceability through the supply chain.

PRACTICAL STORAGE

Despite its streamlined appearance, the Chassis provides useful everyday storage.

It features:

• Zipped chest pocket with side entry
• Two zipped hip pockets
• Internal pocket on the left-hand side

Zipped external pockets help keep smaller essentials secure while maintaining the clean appearance of the gilet.
