An invaluable piece of clothing for runners, cyclists and triathletes or just a coat without sleeves worn by people like Alan Partridge?
I'm undecided. What do you think?

By undecided, what I actually mean is, does wearing a gilet make you look like a bellend or a complete cock?

Depends. On the gilet, the occasion, and the wearer.

Invaluable, versatile, fashionable, essential and practical. The humble Gilet is a wonder of design and engineering crafted especially for the maritime UK climate; a clearer sign of the ingenuity of man you will not find.

An ingenious man who doesn't mind his arms getting cold and wet presumably?

I've carried one in my pack in all the ultra marathons I've done. Very handy for when I gets a bit cold but not cold enough for a coat. I have a dayglo yellow one which packs down to nothing. And to be fair I look like a tool when running anyway
