Product Overview
The RS Reversible Bodywarmer (S418) is a versatile and hard-wearing solution designed for professionals who require both durability and adaptability in their daily workwear. Constructed with a 100% Polyester Ripstop shell that features a PVC coating, this garment is engineered to withstand the rigours of active trade environments. The reversible design offers a choice between a rugged, weather-resistant outer and a soft, anti-pill fleece interior, ensuring comfort regardless of the conditions. Its sleeveless profile provides an excellent range of motion for the arms, making it an ideal choice for tasks that involve reaching, lifting, or driving.
Key Features
- Rugged Ripstop Fabric: The shell is designed to resist tearing and ripping, ensuring the garment remains intact even when snagged on equipment or materials.
- Reversible Design: Offers two distinct looks and functions in one garment, with a professional grey finish on one side and a warm fleece on the other.
- Anti-Pill Fleece Lining: The internal fleece is treated to prevent the formation of small bobbles, maintaining a clean and professional appearance after repeated wear.
- Secure Zip Pockets: Provides safe storage for essential tools, mobile devices, or personal items, preventing them from falling out during active movement.
- Relaxed Fit: The comfortable, generous cut allows for easy layering over sweatshirts or work shirts without restricting movement.
Design & Performance
The technical merit of this bodywarmer lies in its material composition. The shell fabric is a sturdy polyester ripstop, which uses a reinforced weaving technique to prevent damage from spreading. This is further enhanced by a PVC coating, providing a level of protection against light moisture and wind. The fleece side is of a substantial weight, offering significant thermal insulation on colder, dry days. Despite its robust construction, the garment remains surprisingly manageable and comfortable for all-day wear. The high-quality anti-pill finish on the fleece ensures that the garment doesn't look worn out prematurely, protecting your company's image over the long term.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The RS Reversible Bodywarmer is highly compatible with both print and embroidery, making it a flexible canvas for your company branding. For a more formal and prestigious look, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names; the dense weave of the ripstop and the substantial weight of the fleece provide an excellent foundation for high-quality stitching. If you require large, bold graphics or promotional messaging, our high-precision printing techniques are an effective alternative. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is particularly well-suited for tradespeople, warehouse staff, and delivery drivers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments. It provides the necessary core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket, making it perfect for those working in workshops or navigating vehicle cabs. It is an excellent choice for any professional seeking a reliable, multi-functional layer that can handle the physical demands of a busy site.

Practical Advice
This bodywarmer features a relaxed fit, making it ideal for layering. We suggest choosing your standard size if you intend to wear it over a medium-weight sweatshirt or hoodie. If you prefer a more tailored fit and plan to wear it over lighter base layers, you may wish to consider how the extra room in the relaxed cut will feel during movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of this garment, it is important to follow the specified care instructions carefully. Proper maintenance ensures that both the technical fabrics and your custom branding remain in peak condition.
We recommend a maximum wash temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Exceeding this temperature can damage the PVC coating and compromise the integrity of the polyester fibres, potentially leading to shrinkage or a loss of weather resistance.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this bodywarmer. Bleaching agents are too harsh for the polyester and PVC materials and will cause significant discolouration and degradation of the fabric strength. Similarly, the garment should not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals used in the process can strip away the protective coatings.
This item should not be tumble dried. High heat from a dryer can melt the PVC coating and warp the ripstop fabric. Instead, we advise that the garment is drip line dried. Hanging it while wet allows gravity to help the garment retain its shape while it dries naturally. Finally, do not iron this bodywarmer; the direct heat of an iron will cause immediate and permanent damage to the synthetic fabrics and any applied print branding.
