Product Overview
The 2786 Diamond Pane Padded Gilet is a thoughtfully engineered piece of outerwear that balances sophisticated aesthetics with reliable thermal performance. Designed with a diamond-quilted pattern, this gilet ensures that the internal insulation remains evenly distributed, preventing cold spots and maintaining a consistent level of warmth. The streamlined fit provides a professional silhouette without the bulk often associated with padded garments, making it an excellent choice for those who require freedom of movement while working in cooler environments.
Key Features
- Tonal Coil Zip with Internal Storm Flap: The centre front zip features a signature puller and mousetail piping, backed by an internal storm flap and chin guard to prevent wind penetration and skin irritation.
- Diamond Stitched Sandwiched Baffles: This construction method secures the substantial polyester fill, ensuring long-term durability and heat retention throughout the life of the garment.
- Elasticated Armholes and Hem: Stretch binding around the armholes and hem creates a secure fit that traps heat and provides added protection against draughts.
- Smartphone-Friendly Connectivity: An internal self-loop attachment is included for headphone wires, allowing you to stay connected and hands-free while on site.
- Practical Storage: Two welted pockets are positioned for easy access, providing a secure space for essential tools or personal items.
Design & Performance
The outer shell is crafted from a lightweight nylon with a cire finish, giving it a subtle semi-shine that resists the elements while maintaining a refined appearance. Inside, a substantial polyester wadding provides the necessary insulation for outdoor work, while the nylon lining ensures the gilet glides easily over base layers or sweatshirts. The inclusion of internal seam binding further reinforces the garment's structure, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of daily wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This gilet is an excellent canvas for customisation, accommodating both print and embroidery. For businesses seeking a traditional and high-end professional appearance, embroidery is recommended for chest logos, as the stitching sits neatly against the quilted baffles. For larger, more vibrant branding, our printing techniques provide a bold finish that stands out clearly against the cire finish fabric.
Our expert team in Telford has been handling garment customisation since 1976, ensuring that every logo is applied with precision. Because this product features a cut-away label and no branded neck label, it is particularly well-suited for companies looking to create a fully bespoke uniform identity.
Use Cases
The Diamond Pane Gilet is versatile enough for a variety of sectors, from site managers and surveyors who need to look professional while visiting projects, to hospitality staff working in alfresco dining environments. It serves as an ideal mid-layer for tradespeople working in unheated indoor spaces or as a standalone outer layer during the transitional seasons.

Practical Advice
Available in sizes ranging from Small to 3XL, this gilet is designed for a streamlined fit. If you intend to wear it over a heavy-weight hoodie or a thick work jacket, you may wish to consider the measurements provided in our size guide to ensure comfortable layering. The lightweight nature of the outer fabric means it can be easily packed away when not in use without taking up excessive space.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and thermal properties of the polyester fill, we recommend a gentle machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps to preserve the nylon's semi-shine finish and ensures that your embroidered or printed branding remains vibrant for longer.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will damage the synthetic fibres and degrade the fabric's appearance. We also advise against dry cleaning, as the process can interfere with the loft of the internal wadding, reducing its ability to trap heat effectively.
This garment should not be tumble dried. High heat can cause the nylon outer to shrink or distort and may damage custom prints. For best results, air dry the gilet naturally. If ironing is required, use a low setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent scorching or peeling.
