Product Overview
The Henbury HB875 Unisex padded gilet is a sophisticated outerwear solution designed to provide essential warmth without the restriction of a full jacket. Engineered for the modern workforce, this gilet balances a contemporary puffer aesthetic with the practical functionality required for daily wear. It is an ideal all-year-round layer that allows for a cohesive team appearance while ensuring every member remains comfortable in varying temperatures.
Key Features
- Water-repellent nylon pongee fabric: This outer shell ensures that light rain beads off the surface, protecting the wearer from dampness during outdoor tasks.
- Quilted polyester padding: The puffer-effect insulation traps air to provide significant thermal retention, making it an effective barrier against the cold.
- Dedicated decoration areas: Smooth panels on the chest and back have been intentionally designed without quilting to ensure a clean, professional surface for company branding.
- Internal deep pockets: Two substantial inner pockets provide secure storage for tools, documents, or personal devices, keeping them protected and accessible.
- Hidden side pockets with non-slip pullers: Discrete storage for hands or small items, with zipper pullers designed for easy operation even in cold conditions.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% nylon pongee, this gilet is designed to be both durable and lightweight. The fabric choice offers a high level of wind resistance, while the polyester padding provides the necessary loft to maintain body heat. The design features plain side panels that help create a more tailored, professional silhouette than traditional bulky bodywarmers. Additionally, the armholes are finished with binding to ensure a snug fit that prevents heat loss while remaining comfortable during physical activity. This garment also carries Amfori BSCI accreditation, reflecting a commitment to ethical production standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The HB875 has been specifically engineered with customisation in mind. The smooth, non-quilted areas on the chest and across the shoulders are perfect for our Telford-based team to apply your company logo. Embroidery is highly recommended for those seeking a premium, textured appearance that withstands the rigours of the workplace. For larger, more complex designs or promotional messages, printing provides a sharp and vibrant finish that remains highly visible. Since 1976, we have specialised in these techniques, ensuring your branding is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases
This gilet is a versatile choice for a wide range of professionals. It is particularly effective for tradespeople who require core warmth but need full mobility in their arms for manual tasks. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff, delivery drivers, or supervisors who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments. The broad size range from XXS to 4XL ensures that it is an inclusive option for the entire workforce.

Practical Advice
The unisex fit of this gilet is designed to be inclusive, but we recommend reviewing the size guide to ensure the best fit for all team members, especially when layering over heavier sweatshirts or knitwear. Its lightweight profile makes it an excellent mid-layer; it can be worn over a polo shirt in milder weather or under a heavy waterproof coat during the height of winter.
Caring for your product
To preserve the water-repellent properties and the structure of the internal padding, we recommend a synthetic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the synthetic fibers and lead to a loss of insulation loft.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the fabric's integrity and cause the colour to fade. This garment should not be dry cleaned, as the process can be too abrasive for the nylon pongee shell.
Air drying is essential for this product. Do not tumble dry or iron the gilet, as direct heat can melt the fabric or cause the internal padding to clump. We recommend reshaping the garment while it is damp and allowing it to dry naturally. To maintain the vibrant colour, avoid drying the gilet in direct sunlight or near intense heat sources like radiators.
Ensure the gilet is never folded or stored while damp, as this can lead to permanent creasing and may damage the fabric over time. Always wash with similar colours to prevent any potential dye transfer.
