Key Features

- Breathable Membrane: Allows moisture to escape, preventing overheating during physical activity while still protecting against external weather.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial polyester blend, this gilet feels sturdy and dependable. The heavyweight fabric is part of a sophisticated three-layer system that balances durability with comfort. The outer shell is designed to withstand the scrapes and scuffs of a busy workday, while the inner layers provide the insulation needed for outdoor tasks. Unlike standard waistcoats, this softshell gilet offers a superior finish and a more structured fit that holds up well over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to ensure your branding meets our exacting standards.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance that is ideal for company logos and staff names. It is exceptionally durable and stands up to repeated washing without losing its sharp finish. For larger, bold designs or those requiring a broader colour range, our printing service offers a clear and striking result that ensures your business stands out from the crowd.
Use Cases
This gilet is an excellent choice for site managers, delivery drivers, and warehouse operatives who need to stay visible but find a full jacket too restrictive. It is equally suited for roadside workers and construction professionals who require an extra layer of safety and warmth that can be easily added or removed as the British weather dictates.

Practical Advice
This gilet is designed to be worn over other clothing, so we recommend considering what you will usually wear underneath when selecting your size. It pairs perfectly with a sweatshirt or a polo shirt for a layered look. With sizes ranging from Small to 4XL, there is an option to suit everyone in your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and technical performance of this gilet, it is important to keep the fabric clean. Accumulated dirt can dull the reflective tape and the fluorescent fabric, reducing the garment's effectiveness as a safety item.
We advise against the use of bleach, as this can break down the polyester fibres and damage the specialised coating that provides weather resistance. When drying, avoid high heat sources; air drying is the best way to preserve the integrity of the reflective strips and ensure the three-layer fabric does not delaminate or lose its shape.
