Product Overview
The Nimbus Highland yoke fleece vest represents a sophisticated intersection between urban fashion and outdoor functionality. Designed to meet the demands of modern professionals who require both warmth and a polished appearance, this unisex gilet features a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The combination of high-quality recycled fleece and a smooth yoke overlay ensures it transitions seamlessly from a technical work layer to a stylish choice for corporate representation. Rooted in modern trends, it offers a refined silhouette that avoids the bulk of traditional outerwear while providing essential thermal retention.
Key Features
Recycled Polyester Fleece: This substantial fabric provides exceptional thermal retention, ensuring you remain warm without the restriction of a full jacket.
Weather-Protective Yoke Overlay: The contrast twill across the shoulders offers increased durability and added protection in areas most exposed to the elements.
High Collar Design: The integrated high collar acts as an effective windbreak, protecting the neck area during outdoor tasks or commuting.
Secure Zipped Side Pockets: Reversed zippers provide a streamlined, modern look while ensuring personal items or small tools remain safe and accessible.
Sustainable Construction: Built with 100% recycled polyester and certified by Oeko-Tex, this vest supports corporate social responsibility goals without compromising on quality.
Design & Performance
Crafted for comfort and longevity, the Nimbus Highland is constructed from a heavy-weight fleece fabric that offers a soft hand-feel and superior insulation. The inclusion of polyester twill for the yoke and collar is a deliberate design choice; it reinforces high-wear areas and adds a structural contrast that elevates the garment's overall appearance. Despite its heat-retaining properties, the sleeveless design allows for a full range of arm movement, which is essential for active professional roles. The unisex fit is carefully tailored to provide a modern, flattering shape for all staff members, maintaining a professional standard across your entire team.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the plush, textured nature of the recycled fleece, this garment is offered exclusively for embroidery. While printing methods can struggle to maintain clarity on deep-pile fabrics, embroidery provides a permanent, high-definition finish that sits proudly against the fleece. Our in-house embroidery team, operating from our Telford base since 1976, uses precision stitching to ensure your logo is rendered with crisp detail. This method not only reflects the premium quality of the Nimbus brand but also ensures your corporate identity remains durable through repeated wear and industrial use.
Use Cases
The Highland vest is an ideal choice for corporate teams working in varied environments, from showroom floors to outdoor event management. Its professional appearance makes it suitable for customer-facing roles, while the warmth it provides is perfect for draughty warehouses or site visits during cooler months. It serves as an excellent middle layer under a waterproof shell or as a standalone piece for a smart-casual office aesthetic.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that the Highland vest features a unisex fit. For those who prefer a more fitted appearance or intend to wear it primarily as a mid-layer, we recommend reviewing our size guide carefully to ensure the best silhouette. If you plan to layer it over heavy sweatshirts, you may wish to consider your usual sizing, as the fleece provides a comfortable amount of give without losing its shape.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your Nimbus fleece, it is essential to follow the specific care requirements. We recommend a normal wash process at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the recycled polyester fibres and negatively affect the texture of the fleece.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the fabric and cause discolouration to both the garment and your embroidered logo. This vest should not be tumble dried; instead, allow it to air dry naturally to prevent shrinking or warping of the synthetic fibres. Ironing and dry cleaning must be avoided entirely, as excessive heat or chemical solvents can permanently damage the technical fleece and the contrast yoke material.
