Product Overview
The Kariban K6113 Lightweight Padded Bodywarmer is a masterclass in seasonal layering, engineered for those who require warmth without the encumbrance of a heavy jacket. This garment is designed to provide essential core insulation while remaining exceptionally lightweight and easy to manage. Its primary innovation lies in its portability; the entire bodywarmer is highly compressible and can be tucked into its own dedicated storage bag, making it an ideal companion for unpredictable British weather.

Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyamide, this bodywarmer is built to withstand the rigours of a busy working day while maintaining a sleek, professional silhouette. The fabric choice offers a high level of durability and resistance to light moisture, which is essential for outdoor transitions. Despite its delicate feel, the padding is expertly distributed to ensure consistent thermal performance across the chest and back. The addition of a tear-away tag is a thoughtful touch for those looking to rebrand or for individuals who find traditional labels irritating during physical activity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bodywarmer is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names; the precision of the stitching creates a textured, premium look that stands up to repeated wear. Alternatively, if your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics, our high-quality printing process is perfectly suited to this polyamide surface. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your branding is executed with technical accuracy.
Use Cases
The K6113 is a versatile choice for a wide range of industries. It is particularly effective for corporate and hospitality staff who move between indoor and outdoor environments, as well as tradespeople who need a layering piece that won't restrict arm movement. It also serves as a sophisticated uniform option for site supervisors and project managers who require a smart, professional appearance while visiting active locations.

Practical Advice
This bodywarmer is designed with a modern fit in mind. For those planning to wear it over heavy jumpers or thick sweatshirts, you may wish to consider selecting a size up to ensure maximum comfort and range of motion. It is an ideal middle layer; try wearing it under a waterproof shell during heavier rain to provide an extra thermal barrier without the stiffness of a traditional coat.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment continues to perform and your custom branding remains in peak condition, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime without damaging the synthetic fibres or the integrity of the padding.
It is vital that you do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyamide fabric and lead to significant discolouration of both the garment and your embroidered or printed logo. Tumble drying should be avoided at all costs; the high heat of a dryer can cause the synthetic materials to warp or melt, ruining the garment's shape and thermal properties.
Similarly, this item must not be ironed. The fabric is naturally resistant to creasing, and the application of a hot iron will likely damage the padding and the outer shell. Finally, do not dry clean this bodywarmer, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can strip the fabric of its protective qualities and affect the longevity of your customisation.
