Nimbus NB79M Vermont Versatile Down Gilet

The Nimbus NB79M Vermont Versatile Down Gilet is a genuinely premium piece of corporate outerwear, combining luxurious comfort, lightweight warmth and sophisticated styling in a way that's difficult to achieve with a conventional workwear bodywarmer. Designed for businesses that want their teams to look polished while remaining comfortable outdoors, the Vermont is particularly well suited to premium corporate uniforms, customer-facing teams and professionals who regularly move between indoor and outdoor environments.

The difference is immediately noticeable when you wear it. The outer fabric has a smooth, soft and refined feel, while the lightweight construction provides impressive warmth without the bulk associated with heavier padded bodywarmers. Inside, the Vermont is insulated with 90% duck down and 10% duck feather at 700 fill power, giving it an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

The Vermont's channel-down construction and distinctive wavy quilting give the gilet a stylish, contemporary appearance, while the stand-up collar provides additional protection around the neck. The outer fabric is wind and water repellent, with a BIONIC-FINISH® ECO treatment designed to provide protection from light moisture.

This isn't simply a functional workwear gilet. It looks and feels like premium clothing. That makes the Vermont an excellent choice for businesses where the appearance of your team matters just as much as practicality.

Why Choose the Nimbus Vermont?

Genuine 700 Fill Power Duck Down

The Vermont uses 90% duck down and 10% duck feather, with a substantial 700 fill power rating. This provides excellent insulation while keeping the garment remarkably lightweight.

A Noticeably More Luxurious Feel

One of the biggest advantages of the Vermont is something that specifications don't fully communicate: how it feels to wear.

The smooth outer fabric, lightweight construction and soft down insulation give the gilet a noticeably more luxurious feel than a typical corporate bodywarmer.

Warmth Without Restricting Movement

Because the Vermont is sleeveless, it provides warmth around the body's core while leaving the arms completely unrestricted. This makes it particularly effective for employees who need to move between meetings, vehicles, offices and outdoor environments.

Wind and Water Repellent

The nylon outer fabric is wind and water repellent and benefits from BIONIC-FINISH® ECO, helping protect against light rain and moisture. It isn't designed as a waterproof jacket, but provides useful protection for everyday outdoor use.

Premium YKK Metalux Zip

The main fastening uses a YKK Metalux zip, complementing the premium construction and providing smooth, reliable operation. Hidden zipped side pockets keep personal belongings secure while maintaining the clean appearance of the garment.

Designed for Professional Embroidery

The Vermont includes an invisible internal zip providing access between the shell and lining specifically for decoration. This makes professional embroidery possible while helping maintain the clean appearance of the finished garment.

Ideal for Premium Corporate Uniforms

The Vermont works particularly well for businesses that don't want their employees to look like they're wearing traditional workwear.

• Estate agents

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Nimbus Vermont filled with real down?

Yes. The Vermont uses 90% duck down and 10% duck feather, with a 700 fill power rating.

What does 700 fill power mean?

Fill power is an indication of the loft and insulating efficiency of down. A 700 fill power rating represents high-quality down that can provide substantial warmth without requiring a heavy or bulky garment.

Is the Vermont warm?

Yes. Despite its lightweight construction, the combination of 90% duck down and 700 fill power provides excellent insulation. It is particularly effective as a core-warming layer during colder autumn and winter conditions.

Is the Nimbus Vermont waterproof?

No. The Vermont is wind and water repellent rather than fully waterproof. Its BIONIC-FINISH® ECO treatment helps protect against light rain and moisture, but a dedicated waterproof jacket should be chosen for prolonged heavy rain.

Is the Vermont suitable for embroidery?

Yes. The garment has a discreet internal zip providing access between the shell and lining for decoration. This makes it suitable for professional embroidery.

Where would you recommend placing a company logo?

For a premium garment such as the Vermont, I would normally recommend a small, discreet left-chest embroidered logo. Keeping the embroidery relatively understated complements the luxury appearance of the gilet rather than overpowering it.

Is the Vermont suitable for business uniforms?

Absolutely. In fact, this is where I think the Vermont really stands apart. Its premium styling makes it particularly suitable for businesses where employees are customer-facing and need to look smart rather than traditionally "workwear".

Is the Vermont suitable for outdoor work?

Yes, particularly where employees need a lightweight warm layer with freedom of movement. It is ideal for moving between vehicles, offices, customer sites and outdoor locations.

What colours is the Vermont available in?

The current Nimbus specification lists Black and Midnight Blue.

What sizes are available?

The men's Vermont is available from S through 4XL. Nimbus also produces a women's Vermont version, although that is a separate product.

How should the Vermont be washed?

The manufacturer's care guidance specifies a 30°C mild wash. Tumble drying is possible on a low-temperature setting, with a maximum exhaust temperature of 60°C. It should not be ironed or dry cleaned.

Why choose the Nimbus NB79M Vermont?

The Vermont is an excellent choice when a standard corporate bodywarmer simply isn't good enough. Its combination of genuine duck down, 700 fill power, lightweight construction, premium styling and professional branding potential makes it a sophisticated alternative for businesses that want their team to look and feel their best.
