Product Overview
The 2786 Latitude hooded bodywarmer is a technically engineered piece of outerwear designed for the modern professional who requires warmth without the restriction of a full jacket. Featuring distinctive tramline quilting with both wide and narrow baffles, this garment provides an effective thermal barrier against the elements. Its lightweight construction makes it an ideal layering piece, fitting comfortably over a sweatshirt or under a larger coat during more severe weather conditions.
Key Features
- Reverse Coil Centre Front Zip: The high-quality zip with a signature pull ensures smooth operation and a clean, streamlined aesthetic.
- Quilted Hood with Elasticated Edge: Provides essential protection for the head and neck, with the elasticated binding ensuring it stays in place during movement or in windy conditions.
- Internal Zipped Embroidery Access: A critical feature for business owners, allowing for easy customisation while maintaining a clean finish on the interior of the garment.
- Secure Storage: Equipped with reverse coil zip side pockets and additional internal pockets to keep essential tools or mobile devices secure and accessible.
- Storm Flap and Chin Guard: The internal storm flap prevents wind penetration through the zip, while the chin guard ensures comfort and prevents skin irritation during long shifts.
Design & Performance
The Latitude bodywarmer is constructed with a durable 100% nylon outer shell that offers resilience against the daily rigours of active work. Inside, a substantial polyester padding fill provides excellent thermal insulation, trapping air within the wide and narrow baffles to maintain core body temperature. The lining is made from smooth polyester, ensuring the garment slides easily over other layers without snagging.
For those looking to rebrand, the garment features a cut-away label system and lacks a permanent neck label, allowing for a fully bespoke finish that reflects your company identity. The elasticated armholes provide a snugger fit, reducing draughts and ensuring the bodywarmer moves with the wearer rather than against them.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bodywarmer is a versatile canvas for your company branding. We recommend embroidery for a truly professional appearance; it is particularly suited for chest-placed logos and staff names, offering a durable finish that withstands frequent laundering. The dedicated internal zip opening is specifically designed to facilitate high-quality embroidery without compromising the internal lining.
For larger, more impactful designs on the back, our print services provide a sharp and vibrant finish. Whether you require a sophisticated embroidered crest or a bold printed message, our expert team in Telford—who have been perfecting workwear since 1976—will ensure your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
The Latitude is perfectly suited for tradespeople, delivery drivers, and warehouse staff who are constantly transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments. It is also an excellent choice for site managers who need to maintain a professional appearance while staying warm during inspections.

Practical Advice
This bodywarmer is designed with a standard fit and is available in sizes S to 3XL. To ensure the best fit when layering, we recommend checking our size guide, which provides measurements for chest sizes ranging from 38 to 50 inches. If you intend to wear it over a heavy-duty hoodie, you may wish to consider how the elasticated armholes will feel over bulkier sleeves.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and thermal performance of your bodywarmer, we recommend a gentle machine wash at 30°C. Higher temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and compromise the quilted baffles.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the nylon outer and may cause discolouration of your custom embroidery or print. The garment should not be tumble dried; instead, allow it to air dry naturally to preserve the loft of the padding.
If required, iron on a low setting only. High heat from an iron will melt the nylon shell and polyester fill. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used can strip the fabric of its natural protective properties.
