gilets
Quilted layering pieces
Gilets is the plural of gilet, a sleeveless padded jacket worn for warmth—essentially a vest with quilted insulation.
The word comes from French and appears more commonly in British than American English: She layered a down gilet over her sweater.
In France, *gilets jaunes* (yellow vests) became associated with the protest movement that began in 2018.
