Product Overview
The Nimbus Benton hybrid vest is an expertly engineered solution for the professional who requires both thermal regulation and unrestricted movement. By combining the lightweight properties of a quilted body with the flexibility of softshell panels, this gilet serves as a highly adaptable mid-layer or a standalone outer garment. Whether you are transitioning from a site visit to a client meeting or working in variable temperatures, the Benton provides a sophisticated athleisure aesthetic without compromising on practical utility.
Key Features
- The reverse main zip featuring a metal logo puller provides a streamlined, professional appearance while ensuring smooth operation and durability for daily use.
- An inside adjustable drawstring allows for a tailored fit, which helps to trap heat and prevent wind ingress at the hem during outdoor tasks.
- Sorona Aura quilted padding offers sustainable warmth, utilising bio-based materials to provide effective insulation without adding excessive bulk or weight.
- The Bionic Finish ECO water-repellent treatment ensures that light rain beads off the surface, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during unpredictable weather.
Design & Performance
This hybrid vest is a study in material innovation and functional design. The outer shell is constructed from 100% recycled nylon, providing a lightweight yet resilient barrier against the elements. This is intelligently paired with softshell sections containing elastane, which allows the garment to move with the wearer rather than against them, making it ideal for active roles. Inside, the Sorona Aura insulation—comprising 30% bio-based material—provides a superior warmth-to-weight ratio. The result is a garment that feels lightweight on the shoulders but performs reliably in cooler conditions, making it an essential component of a modern workwear layering system.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Benton hybrid vest is a versatile canvas for your company branding, supporting both print and embroidery. For a superior professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for chest logos; the quilted and softshell surfaces hold stitching exceptionally well, providing a durable and high-quality finish that lasts. Alternatively, for larger, more impactful designs, our high-quality printing techniques ensure your branding remains sharp and visible. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring the same level of care we have provided since 1976.
Use Cases
Given its blend of performance and style, this gilet is ideally suited for client-facing roles where a professional image is paramount. It is an excellent choice for project managers, surveyors, or technical personnel who frequently move between vehicles and outdoor environments. The contemporary design also makes it a popular choice for corporate gifting and team-building events where a modern, athletic look is desired.

Practical Advice
With a sizing range spanning from Small to 4XL, the Benton is designed to accommodate various body types and layering requirements. Because it is a hybrid vest, it works exceptionally well when worn over a technical polo or a lightweight sweatshirt. If you intend to wear thicker knitwear underneath, we suggest referring to the chest measurements in our sizing guide to ensure an optimal fit that maintains the garment's streamlined silhouette.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical performance of your vest requires sensible care to ensure the garment lasts as long as possible. To preserve the Bionic Finish ECO water-repellent coating, it is essential to follow the specific instructions on the internal care label. Using harsh chemicals or standard fabric softeners can often degrade technical finishes, which would reduce the garment's ability to repel water over time.
When laundering, we recommend ensuring the zips are fully closed; this prevents the metal puller from snagging the recycled nylon shell or the softshell panels. Proper care not only extends the life of the garment but also ensures your embroidered or printed logos remain in peak condition throughout the vest's service life.
