Are gilets for losers?

peejay78 it's a bodywarmer isn't it?

or it was when i last wore one, in 1983.

I think they called it a 'life preserver' in Back To The Future, in... 1986?

I loathe mine aesthetically, but on pure functionality with its wind-blocking front and mesh back, I can't help going back to it in the half-seasons.
