Product Overview
The 2786 Expanse padded jacket is a well-engineered solution for professionals who need to maintain a sharp appearance while contending with unpredictable British weather. Constructed with wide horizontal baffles and a substantial polyester fill, this jacket provides reliable thermal insulation without compromising on style. Whether you are conducting site visits or managing outdoor logistics, the Expanse offers a contemporary silhouette that represents your business effectively.
Key Features
- Reverse coil centre front zip: Provides a sleek, finished look while protecting the mechanism from debris for smoother operation.
- Quilted horizontal wide baffles: These hold the insulating fill securely in place, ensuring consistent warmth across the torso and preventing cold spots.
- Adjustable quilted hood: Features a toggle function to provide a snug fit, ensuring your head and ears remain protected during windy or wet conditions.
- Internal zipped opening: Specifically designed for embroidery access, allowing for clean branding applications that do not interfere with the internal lining.
- Tonal elasticated cuffs: Create a comfortable seal at the wrist to prevent heat loss and protect the wearer from the elements.
- Multiple storage options: Includes side pockets and a handy internal pocket for the secure storage of smartphones or wallets.
Design & Performance
This jacket is crafted from 100% polyester across the outer shell, lining, and padding fill, offering a resilient and lightweight barrier against the cold. The wide baffle design is not only a modern aesthetic choice but serves a functional purpose by maximising the loft of the insulation. The tonal polyester lining provides a smooth interior finish that allows the jacket to glide easily over other garments, such as sweatshirts or jumpers. Furthermore, the absence of a branded neck label and the inclusion of cut-away inner labels make this an ideal choice for businesses prioritising their own corporate identity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Expanse padded jacket is versatile enough to accommodate both print and embroidery. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for company logos on the chest or sleeves. The inclusion of a dedicated embroidery access zip is a thoughtful detail that ensures the embroidery remains tidy and the lining stays intact. For larger, more vibrant graphics, high-quality printing is available to make your branding stand out. Every customisation project is handled by our skilled in-house team in Telford, drawing on our expertise established since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for corporate environments where staff are required to work outdoors or travel between locations. It is an excellent choice for project managers, surveyors, and delivery personnel who require a professional appearance that doesn't sacrifice warmth. Its contemporary design also makes it suitable for staff commuting during the autumn and winter months.

Practical Advice
The Expanse jacket is available in sizes S to 3XL. Given its padded nature, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you intend to layer this jacket over heavy knitwear or fleeces. The wide baffle design provides a substantial feel without being overly restrictive during physical activity.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your jacket, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C on a gentle setting. Using a lower temperature helps to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibres and ensures your custom branding remains vibrant for longer.
You must avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the polyester fabric and lead to significant colour fading. This jacket should not be tumble dried; instead, allow it to air dry naturally to prevent the internal padding from clumping and to maintain the garment's original shape.
If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting. High temperatures can cause synthetic polyester fabrics to scorch or melt, which would permanently damage the finish of the jacket. Professional dry cleaning should also be avoided to prevent chemical damage to the insulation.
