Product Overview
The Nimbus Womens Maine gilet is a sophisticated example of modern outerwear, blending an urban aesthetic with practical performance. Designed as a lightweight, pleasantly padded bodywarmer, it serves as a versatile layering piece for professionals who require warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Its construction prioritises both comfort and environmental responsibility, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to align their corporate apparel with modern sustainability standards.
Key Features
- Secure side pockets with zip closures ensure that essential items remain safe and accessible throughout the working day.
- An integrated inside pocket with a zip closure provides a discreet and secure location for sensitive items such as mobile phones or identification.
- The use of recycled fabrics, including materials sourced from plastic bottles and textile waste, helps reduce environmental impact.
- A water-repellent Bionic Finish ECO impregnation provides essential protection against light rain and moisture.
Design & Performance
This gilet is engineered for durability and thermal efficiency. The outer shell is crafted from 100% recycled polyester pongee, while the interior is lined with smooth recycled polyester for ease of movement when layered. The insulation is a high-performance blend of Sorona Aura and Recycled Sugenro, with the AURA component consisting of 30% bio-based material. This combination ensures significant warmth and loft while maintaining a lightweight feel that does not restrict the wearer.
The performance is further enhanced by the Bionic Finish ECO treatment. This technology provides a weather-resistant barrier that allows water to bead off the surface, ensuring the wearer remains dry during unpredictable British weather without compromising the breathability of the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Maine gilet is well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for versatile branding options. For a refined and authoritative professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, typically positioned on the chest. The fabric's weave supports high-density stitching, ensuring your brand is represented with precision.
If your requirements involve larger, more vibrant graphics, our high-quality printing processes are equally effective on this recycled pongee surface. All customisation is carried out by our experienced in-house team in Telford, who have been delivering professional results since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is ideal for female professionals across various sectors, including logistics, site management, and client-facing roles. Its urban-inspired design ensures it looks as professional in a corporate office as it does during active site visits. It is particularly effective for staff who transition frequently between temperature-controlled environments and the outdoors.

Practical Advice
The Maine gilet is designed with a feminine fit, available in sizes ranging from XS (Size 8) to 2XL (Size 18). Because of its lightweight, pleasantly padded nature, it functions exceptionally well as a standalone piece over a sweatshirt or as an insulating layer beneath a larger waterproof coat in more severe conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical performance of this gilet, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using a normal process ensures the recycled fibres are cleaned without being subjected to excessive thermal stress.
You must not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will degrade the insulation and can lead to significant discolouration of the recycled polyester outer. Similarly, the garment should not be dry cleaned, as the solvents involved can strip the water-repellent finish from the fabric.
To preserve the loft of the Sorona Aura padding and the smoothness of the pongee outer, do not tumble dry or iron this gilet. High heat can melt the synthetic fibres and flatten the insulation, permanently reducing the garment's ability to retain heat. Simply hang the garment to air dry naturally.
