Product Overview
The 2786 Traverse padded jacket is a sophisticated piece of outerwear designed to offer both thermal efficiency and a streamlined professional appearance. Constructed with a 100% polyester outer, lining, and fill, this jacket utilizes horizontal sandwiched baffles on the front and back to provide consistent warmth across the torso. The inclusion of vertical baffle features at the side seams is a deliberate design choice to create a more tailored, slimline silhouette, ensuring your team looks sharp even when the temperature drops. This jacket is specifically designed for ease of customisation, featuring a cut-away inner label and a clean exterior surface that serves as an ideal canvas for company branding.
Key Features
- Reverse coil centre front zip: The zip is reversed to provide a cleaner, more streamlined finish and comes with a signature zip pull for ease of use with cold hands or gloves.
- Horizontal sandwiched baffles: These ensure the internal polyester padding remains evenly distributed, preventing cold spots and maintaining the jacket's insulating properties.
- Concealed zip side pockets: Discreetly integrated into the design, these pockets provide secure storage for tools or mobile devices without disrupting the jacket's aesthetic.
- Stretch binding at collar, cuffs, and hem: This provides a snug fit against the body, effectively sealing in warmth and providing extra protection against the wind.
- Internal storm flap with chin guard: A crucial detail that prevents the zip from irritating the skin and offers an additional barrier against inclement weather.
Design & Performance
Engineered for daily use in demanding environments, the Traverse jacket combines a lightweight outer shell with a substantial insulated core. The internal seams are finished with binding to ensure the garment maintains its structural integrity over time, even with frequent movement. The use of 100% polyester throughout ensures the jacket is resilient, quick-drying, and capable of maintaining its loft. The absence of a branded neck label makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to create their own bespoke uniform range through our re-labelling services.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Traverse padded jacket is highly versatile for branding, supporting both print and embroidery applications. For a traditional and durable finish, we recommend embroidery; it is perfect for company logos and staff names, providing a texture that complements the quilted baffles. If you require large-scale, high-visibility branding for events or site work, our technical print processes offer a bold and clear finish. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your brand is represented perfectly.
Use Cases
This jacket is particularly suited for site managers, surveyors, and customer-facing staff who require a smart-casual appearance while remaining warm during outdoor transitions. It is an excellent choice for corporate leisurewear, transport and logistics teams, or as a high-quality promotional garment for outdoor events.

Practical Advice
The Traverse jacket is available in sizes ranging from S to 3XL. Given its slimline silhouette, if you intend to wear this over a heavy sweatshirt or a thick fleece, you may wish to consider moving up one size to ensure full range of motion. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it an ideal outer layer that won't feel overly bulky during physical activity.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and appearance of your padded jacket, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C on a gentle setting. This lower temperature protects the synthetic fibres and ensures the longevity of your embroidered or printed logos.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemical agents will degrade the polyester fabric and cause the colours to fade prematurely. When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the customisation.
Do not tumble dry this garment. The heat and mechanical agitation of a tumble dryer can cause the internal padding to clump together, which significantly reduces the jacket's insulating effectiveness. Similarly, do not dry clean the jacket, as the solvents used can strip the fabric of its natural finish and affect the adhesion of printed designs.
