Product Overview
The 2786 Bryher Recycled Bodywarmer is a thoughtfully engineered solution for professionals who require a versatile mid-layer without compromising on their environmental commitments. Constructed from 100% recycled polyester across the outer shell, lining, and padding, this garment provides a responsible choice for modern businesses. Its classic cut is designed to fit comfortably over base layers or light knitwear, offering a significant boost in warmth during transitional weather. The inclusion of wide quilted horizontal baffles ensures an even distribution of insulation, while the removable hood and high-neck design provide adaptable protection against the unpredictable British elements.
Key Features
- 100% Recycled Construction: Both the fabric and padding are derived from recycled polyester, supporting sustainable procurement goals without sacrificing thermal performance.
- Removable Three-Panel Hood: Features a secure zip attachment, toggles, and popper fastenings, allowing the wearer to adapt the garment to changing weather conditions or safety requirements.
- Internal Embroidery Access: A dedicated zipped opening allows for clean customisation, ensuring the backing of your logo remains hidden behind the lining for a superior finish.
- Comprehensive Storage: Includes concealed zip side pockets for secure tool storage and a dedicated internal phone pocket to keep electronics protected and accessible.
- Storm Protection: An internal storm flap and integrated chin guard prevent wind penetration and eliminate irritation from the zip against the skin.
Design & Performance
This bodywarmer is crafted from a lightweight yet durable recycled polyester fabric that provides excellent wind resistance without adding unnecessary bulk to your workwear ensemble. The wide baffle design is not merely aesthetic; it serves to trap air effectively, maintaining a consistent core temperature during outdoor tasks. To ensure a secure and comfortable fit, the armholes and hem are finished with stretch binding, which helps to seal in heat and prevent draughts. The absence of a branded neck label, replaced by a simple size tab and cut-away labels, makes this an ideal choice for businesses looking to create a fully bespoke corporate identity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Bryher bodywarmer is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, handled entirely in-house by our expert team in Telford. For a traditional and highly durable finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names; the internal access zip is specifically designed to facilitate this, ensuring no stitching is visible on the interior lining. For larger, high-impact branding across the back, our precision printing techniques offer a sharp, vibrant finish that stands out. Whether you require subtle branding or a bold corporate statement, our team—established in 1976—ensures your workwear reflects the professional standards of your business.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for site managers, logistics personnel, and tradespeople who move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments. Its sleeveless design provides maximum range of movement for manual tasks, while the recycled credentials make it a popular choice for companies with strong CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policies. It is equally effective as a standalone outer layer in autumn or as a thermal boost beneath a waterproof jacket in harsher winter conditions.

Practical Advice
The Bryher bodywarmer features a classic fit. If you intend to wear this over a heavy-duty hoodie or a thick sweatshirt, you may wish to consider the generous side of your usual size to ensure ease of movement. The stretch binding at the armholes is designed to be snug to keep the wind out, so ensure your base layers are not overly bulky in the shoulder area to maintain comfort throughout the working day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and aesthetic quality of your bodywarmer, it is essential to follow the recommended care routine. Maintaining the structural integrity of the recycled polyester padding requires a gentle domestic wash at 30°C. Using higher temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and cause the insulation within the baffles to clump or thin, reducing the garment's effectiveness.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents. These agents can break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause significant fading to your custom print or embroidery, compromising your professional appearance. Furthermore, this garment should not be dry cleaned, as the industrial chemicals used in the process can strip the fabric of its natural wind resistance.
Air drying is the only recommended method for this product; do not tumble dry. Excessive heat from a dryer can melt the delicate outer shell or shrink the elasticated binding at the hem and armholes. If the garment requires ironing, use a very low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered logos to prevent permanent damage.
