Design & Performance
The Avalon is built for the professional who requires both form and function. The medium-weight shell is crafted from a blend of recycled polyester and spandex, providing a robust yet flexible outer layer. Unlike standard puffer jackets that rely on external stitching, the loom-woven channels create a clean, streamlined aesthetic while physically containing the down fill. This not only looks superior but also increases the garment's lifespan by reducing points of failure where feathers typically escape.
Inside, the recycled polyester lining is smooth and comfortable, allowing for easy layering. The high-fill power of the down ensures significant warmth-to-weight efficiency, making it an ideal choice for fluctuating British weather. The reverse zip detail adds a modern touch while providing further protection against the elements.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, loom-woven surface of the Avalon provides an excellent canvas for customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford can apply high-definition logos or staff names, which sit beautifully against the clean lines of the jacket, providing a superior finish for your brand.
Alternatively, for larger or more complex designs, print is a viable option. Whether you require a subtle chest logo or a more prominent placement, our experts—who have been perfecting their craft since 1976—will ensure your branding reflects the high standards of your business. Each garment is handled with care to ensure the technical properties of the shell are maintained during the customisation process.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for corporate gifting, premium staff uniforms, and professional outdoor site visits. Its refined silhouette makes it appropriate for management and client-facing roles where a standard industrial jacket might not be suitable. It is an essential piece of equipment for those who need to maintain a professional appearance while working in colder environments or during travel.

Practical Advice
The Avalon features a two-way stretch fabric which provides a tailored, athletic fit. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath the jacket, you may wish to consider selecting a size up to ensure maximum comfort. For a sleeker corporate look over a blouse or lightweight base layer, your standard size according to the size guide is recommended.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and water-repellent properties of your jacket, it is essential to follow specific care guidelines. We recommend a very mild wash at a maximum of 30°C. Using a gentle cycle protects the delicate down clusters inside the chambers, ensuring they do not clump and lose their ability to trap heat.
Bleach should be avoided at all times, as it can degrade the recycled polyester fibres and permanently damage the Bionic Finish ECO water-repellent coating.
Tumble drying is permitted at a low temperature. This is actually beneficial for down garments as it helps to 'fluff' the feathers back into their optimal positions, restoring the jacket's insulating properties and preventing the filling from becoming flat.
If ironing is required, use a maximum sole-plate temperature of 110°C and do not use steam. Excessive heat or moisture from steam can compromise the synthetic shell and the loom-woven seals. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals can strip the natural oils from the down, leading to a loss of warmth over time.
