Keela Belay Jacket vs Keela Vali Jacket | Cold Weather Kit Review

As the weather turns colder and wetter, choosing the right insulated jacket becomes critical - especially if you’re serving and working within a realistic budget.

In this video, we break down two of the most popular jackets currently flying out of the Summit Tactical shop:
Keela Vali Jacket
Keela Belay Jacket

Both jackets have seen a huge surge in popularity over the last few months, and it’s easy to see why. They offer serious warmth, proven materials, and excellent value for money — without costing “Gucci kit” prices.

Keela Vali Jacket Overview
Designed primarily as a mid-layer, the Vali is more than capable as a standalone jacket.

Key features:
Comfort rated to -15°C (down to -20°C in extremis)
Shorter cut designed to fit under Odin Parachutist or Thor outer jackets
Primaloft insulation
Soft grid fleece internal lining
Napoleon chest pocket
Two insulated hip pockets
Zipped arm pockets with Velcro ID panels
YKK zips throughout
Velcro-adjustable cuffs
Internal zip pocket
Waist drawcord adjustment
Light, warm, and versatile — ideal if you want layering flexibility without bulk.

Keela Belay Jacket Overview
The Belay Jacket is a heavier-duty, over-the-top insulation layer, and it’s proving extremely popular with Royal Marines.

Key features:
Designed to go over kit and harnesses
Longer cut for increased coverage
Much thicker and warmer than the Vali
Primaloft insulation with fleece-style internal lining
Stow-away wired hood
Storm flap over the main zip
Napoleon chest pocket
Zipped bicep pockets
Large underarm pit zips for ventilation
YKK zips throughout
Velcro cuffs
This is an outstanding jacket for standing around, harbour duties, and static cold-weather tasks.

Final Thoughts
If you want:
A lighter, more flexible layering piece → Vali
Maximum warmth and protection → Belay

Both jackets deliver excellent performance at a price point that makes sense for serving soldiers.
