Product Overview
The Women's Terrain Padded Gilet is a meticulously designed outer layer that balances a professional silhouette with practical weather protection. Engineered with a lightweight nylon shell and a soft polyester fill, this garment provides an effective barrier against the cold without the restrictive bulk of a traditional jacket. The fitted silhouette and side seam panelling ensure a tailored appearance that is specifically designed for the female frame, making it an ideal choice for corporate uniforms or outdoor event staff who require a smart, cohesive look.
Key Features
- Tonal Reverse Coil Zip: The centre front zip features a tonal reverse coil design for a streamlined look, complemented by a signature zip puller for ease of use even when wearing gloves.
- Narrow Quilted Baffles: Horizontal stitched sandwiched baffles keep the internal insulation securely in place, preventing cold spots and maintaining a consistent temperature.
- Internal Storm Flap and Chin Guard: These features provide a critical barrier against wind ingress and prevent the zip from catching, ensuring comfort throughout the working day.
- Secure Storage: Tonal reverse coil zip pockets with upper zip garages offer secure storage for essential items, protecting them from the elements.
- Packable Convenience: The inclusion of a packable bag allows the gilet to be stored efficiently when not in use, making it a versatile option for changing weather conditions.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a 100% nylon outer and lining, this gilet is designed to withstand the rigours of daily wear while remaining exceptionally light. The interior features a lightweight polyester fill that provides warmth by trapping air within the narrow baffles. The design prioritises movement, featuring stretch binding around the armholes which allows for a full range of motion while providing added protection against drafts.
The internal finish is equally considered, with inside binding around the seams for added durability and a clean aesthetic. For businesses looking to rebrand, the garment features a cut-away brand label, allowing for a more bespoke finish if required.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This gilet is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to showcase your brand with precision. Embroidery is highly recommended for a sophisticated, long-lasting professional look, particularly for company logos or staff names on the chest. The fabric's structure supports high-density stitching, ensuring your branding remains sharp.
Alternatively, printing is a suitable choice for larger, high-impact designs on the back of the garment. Our expert in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your customisation is handled with the technical expertise your brand deserves.
Use Cases
This gilet is perfectly suited for a wide range of professional environments. It is a staple for delivery drivers, site managers, and hospitality staff working in alfresco dining settings. Its ability to layer over t-shirts, polo shirts, or sweatshirts makes it a versatile year-round essential for any business operating in the UK's unpredictable climate.

Practical Advice
This gilet features a fitted silhouette. For staff who intend to wear it over heavy-duty sweatshirts or multiple layers, you may wish to consider the size range carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. The stretch binding at the armholes provides some flexibility, but a correct initial fit is paramount for professional appearance and comfort.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the synthetic fill and the nylon shell is vital for the long-term performance of this garment. We recommend a machine wash at 30°C on a gentle setting. Using a higher temperature can damage the fine nylon fibres and cause the internal insulation to lose its loft.
Do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will weaken the fabric structure and may cause discolouration to both the gilet and your custom branding. For the same reason, dry cleaning should be avoided to prevent exposure to aggressive solvents.
Air drying is the only recommended method; do not tumble dry this product. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can cause the baffles to shrink and the polyester fill to clump. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting to avoid melting the synthetic outer shell.
