Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Bush Pilot Quilted Vest: Choose this if you want a sleeveless insulating layer for core warmth while keeping your arms free on active days outdoors or for easy layering in shifting conditions. It offers a diamond-quilted canvas shell of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton with 250 g/m² recycled insulation, a PFAS-free water-repellent finish for light weather, oversized handwarmer pockets, a rib-knit collar, and a YKK metal zipper, and it is GRS and Oeko-Tex standard 100 certified. Note that its repellent finish is described as protection against light weather rather than heavy rain, and it is listed in Mossy Green in sizes small, medium, and large.[1,2] | Insulated Green Canadian Overshirt: Choose this if you want an insulated flannel overshirt in a large dark-green and beige buffalo check, with a boxy straight cut ending near the upper hip and a snap-front closure. It suits wearers who value recycled materials — the shell is 80% recycled polyester with 20% wool, and the lining and insulation are 100% recycled polyester — plus practical details like five pockets, a hidden buckle for attaching tools, brown elbow reinforcements, and a reinforced forearm. The certification bullets on the brand page do not specify which material or component holds the GRS or Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification.[3,4,5,6,7,8] |
