The G-3 Padded Overshirt takes the familiar feel of a heavyweight flannel and gives it enough warmth to handle colder days. Made from 100% cotton flannel with a quilted lining, it sits somewhere between a shirt and a jacket, which is exactly why we like it.
The heavier cotton exterior has the texture and easy feel of a classic mountain flannel, while the padded interior adds warmth without turning it into a full winter coat. Wear it over a tee or sweater through fall, layer it under something heavier when winter settles in, or keep it by the door for those cold mornings when a regular shirt just isn’t enough.
It is simple, useful, and easy to wear. The kind of layer that ends up getting grabbed far more often than you expected.
Why we like it:
- Heavyweight 100% cotton flannel gives it the familiar feel and durability of a proper overshirt
- Quilted lining adds useful warmth for colder weather
- Shirt-jacket construction makes it more versatile than a traditional flannel
- Easy to layer over a tee, knit, or lightweight mid-layer
- Works as outerwear in fall and shoulder season or as an extra layer when winter gets colder
- Clean enough for town, comfortable enough for travel, and rugged enough for everyday mountain life
- A simple piece with a lot of range, which usually means it becomes one of the most-worn layers in the closet
