Product Overview
The Taurus recycled padded bodywarmer from 2786 is a versatile layering solution designed for those who require warmth without the restriction of sleeves. This garment balances modern sustainability with technical functionality, utilising recycled materials throughout its construction. With its classic silhouette and distinct diagonal v-stitched quilting, it provides a professional appearance suitable for both client-facing roles and active site work. The addition of a square baffled hood and an internal storm flap ensures that the wearer remains protected against unpredictable weather conditions while maintaining a polished corporate look.
Key Features
- 100% Recycled Construction: The outer fabric, lining, and padding are all crafted from recycled polyester, supporting your company’s environmental commitments without compromising on performance.
- Weather Protection: An internal storm flap and integrated chin guard prevent wind penetration and zip irritation, while the stretch binding at the armholes and hem helps to trap heat effectively.
- Functional Storage: Equipped with secure reverse coil zip pockets and a dedicated internal phone pocket, ensuring essential tools and devices are kept safe and accessible.
- Purposeful Design: Features diagonal v-stitched baffles on the main body and horizontal baffles at the sides for a structured, flattering fit that doesn't feel overly bulky.
- Rebrandable Finish: The absence of a branded neck label and the inclusion of cut-away tags make this an excellent choice for businesses looking to create a completely bespoke uniform range.
Design & Performance
Engineering a bodywarmer that is both lightweight and insulating requires careful attention to detail. The Taurus uses a lightweight polyester fill sandwiched between recycled polyester layers to provide thermal retention without excessive mass. The internal binding on all seams adds a layer of structural integrity, ensuring the garment can withstand the rigours of a daily work schedule.
The performance of this garment is enhanced by the choice of materials. The recycled polyester outer is durable yet supple, allowing for a full range of motion. The stretch binding at the armholes is particularly beneficial for tradespeople who spend their day reaching or lifting, as it ensures the garment moves with the body rather than resisting it.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bodywarmer is specifically designed with customisation in mind, featuring dedicated embroidery access to ensure the internal lining remains clean and the finish is professional. For a traditional and durable corporate identity, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective on the chest area, providing a textured, high-quality finish for company logos and staff names.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics across the back, our high-definition printing services are an ideal alternative. Both methods are handled at our Telford facility by an expert team that has been perfecting workwear customisation since 1976. Whether you choose the tactile finish of embroidery or the bold impact of print, we ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is a highly adaptable piece of workwear. It is perfectly suited for delivery drivers and warehouse staff who need to regulate their temperature when moving between indoor and outdoor environments. It also serves as an excellent outer layer for supervisors and surveyors who require a professional appearance while working on-site during the transitional seasons.

Practical Advice
The Taurus bodywarmer is designed for layering. When selecting your size, consider what you will typically wear underneath. If you intend to wear it over a heavy-duty sweatshirt or hoodie, you may wish to verify your measurements against our sizing guide, which ranges from Small (38") to 3XL (50"). The square baffled hood is designed to be low-profile, so it won't interfere with visibility while you are working.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal properties and structural integrity of the recycled polyester, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C on a gentle setting. High temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and potentially affect the adhesive used in printed branding.
Bleaching agents should be strictly avoided as they will degrade the fabric and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your custom logo. We also advise against dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved are too harsh for the lightweight polyester fill.
When drying, do not use a tumble dryer. Heat from a dryer can cause the baffles to lose their shape and the padding to clump. Instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally. If necessary, a low iron can be used, but care must be taken to avoid direct contact with any printed elements to prevent melting or distortion.
