Product Overview
The Baffle Gilet is an ultra-lightweight layering solution designed to offer superior thermal insulation without the bulk of a traditional jacket. Engineered with Insulatex padding, this garment provides an excellent balance of warmth and wearer comfort, making it a versatile addition to any professional uniform. Its water-resistant properties ensure that unexpected light showers do not disrupt your workday, while the sleek black finish maintains a sharp, professional appearance.
Key Features
- Insulatex padded lining offers exceptional thermal properties, trapping heat close to the body to keep you warm in cooler environments.
- The ultra-lightweight construction ensures that the wearer remains mobile and comfortable, even during extended shifts without the fatigue of heavy outerwear.
- Water-resistant fabric provides a necessary layer of protection against light rain, keeping you dry and focused on the task at hand.
- An anti-static finish on the nylon shell helps to reduce the buildup of static electricity, which is particularly beneficial in technical or sensitive work environments.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a high-specification 100% Nylon 20D shell, this gilet is surprisingly robust for its weight. The anti-static finish is a thoughtful inclusion for those working in environments where static discharge needs to be minimised. Inside, the 100% polyester filling provides a high-loft insulation layer that mimics the warmth of down but retains its performance even if conditions become damp.
The 100% nylon lining ensures the gilet slides easily over other layers, preventing the garment from bunching or restricting movement during physical activity. This careful selection of materials ensures that the gilet is both a functional piece of all-weather protection and a comfortable everyday essential for the modern professional.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This gilet is an ideal canvas for customisation, whether you require a subtle brand identity or high-impact visibility. Embroidery is highly recommended for adding corporate logos or staff names to the chest area; the dense stitching provides a high-quality, professional finish that stands up to regular wear and frequent washing.
For larger branding or promotional messaging on the back, print is a superb alternative, allowing for bold designs that remain crisp and clear. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with the precision and expertise your business deserves.
Use Cases
This gilet is perfectly suited for tradespeople who require core warmth while maintaining a full range of motion in their arms. It is equally effective for warehouse staff, delivery drivers, or site managers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments. Its lightweight nature also makes it an excellent choice for corporate team-wear during outdoor events or during the transition between seasons.

Practical Advice
As this gilet is designed for layering, consider what you will be wearing beneath it. If you intend to wear it over a heavy sweatshirt or hoodie, you may wish to check the fit to ensure you maintain full mobility. Its slim profile also allows it to be worn comfortably under a larger waterproof coat as a dedicated thermal mid-layer in extreme conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and appearance of this gilet, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures may damage the synthetic fibres of the Insulatex padding, reducing its ability to trap heat effectively over time.
Do not use bleach on this garment, as harsh chemicals will degrade the nylon shell and the water-resistant finish. Similarly, the gilet should not be tumble dried; high heat can cause the lightweight materials to shrink or lose their shape. Instead, allow it to air dry naturally. This gilet must not be ironed or dry cleaned, as these processes can permanently damage the technical fabrics and the anti-static properties.
