Product Overview
The Softshell Bodywarmer (3L) is a meticulously engineered garment designed for those who require core warmth and protection without the restrictive bulk of a full jacket. Part of the All Weather Protection range, this gilet is constructed using a sophisticated three-layer technical fabric. It serves as an ideal intermediate or outer layer for professionals operating in active working environments where freedom of movement is paramount.
Key Features
- Three-Layer Bonded Fabric: The lamination of the outer shell to an internal micro fleece provides a robust barrier against the elements while maintaining a sleek profile.
- High Performance Waterproofing: With a rating of 8,000mm, the fabric offers significant resistance to water penetration, ensuring you remain dry during unexpected showers.
- Advanced Breathability: A moisture vapour permeability of 3,000g/m2/24hr allows internal moisture to escape, preventing the build-up of perspiration during physical exertion.
- Integrated Elastane: The inclusion of elastane within the shell provides a degree of stretch, facilitating a full range of motion for manual tasks.
- Micro Fleece Interior: The laminated fleece lining provides essential thermal insulation by trapping heat close to the torso.
Design & Performance
This bodywarmer is crafted from a substantial yet flexible blend of 94% polyester and 6% elastane. This specific composition ensures the garment is resilient enough for daily wear while providing the necessary 'give' for reaching and lifting. The three-layer construction is not merely for show; it creates a windproof environment that protects the core organs from wind chill.
The interior is laminated to a 100% polyester micro fleece. This provides a soft-touch finish against the skin or base layers and enhances the garment's ability to regulate body temperature. Despite its protective capabilities, the fabric remains relatively lightweight, making it a professional alternative to heavier, more cumbersome outerwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, technical surface of this softshell gilet makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For a traditional and highly durable corporate look, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names on the chest. The dense weave of the shell supports high-stitch-count designs with exceptional clarity.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics across the back, our high-quality printing processes are well-suited to this material. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford. Having been in the business since 1976, we ensure that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance of your workforce.
Use Cases
This garment is particularly well-suited for site managers, delivery drivers, and tradespeople who frequently move between indoor and outdoor settings. It provides the necessary professional appearance for client-facing roles while offering the technical performance required for site visits. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff who need to stay warm in drafty environments without losing arm mobility.

Practical Advice
For the best results in cold weather, we suggest layering this bodywarmer over a technical base layer or a high-quality polo shirt. Because this is a softshell garment with a tailored fit, you may wish to consider the thickness of the layers you intend to wear underneath when selecting your size.
Caring for your product
To ensure your softshell bodywarmer continues to perform at its best and retains its waterproof properties, proper maintenance is essential.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C using a mild process. High temperatures can damage the laminate bond between the layers, causing the fabric to delaminate over time.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Bleach will compromise the integrity of the polyester fibres and cause the black colour to fade, leading to a diminished professional appearance.
This item should not be tumble dried. The intense heat of a dryer can cause the elastane to lose its elasticity and may damage the waterproof membrane. Instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally.
Do not iron this bodywarmer. The heat from an iron can melt the synthetic fibres and ruin the three-layer bonded structure. Furthermore, ironing can damage any applied print or embroidery customisation.
Finally, do not dry clean this product. The harsh chemicals used in the dry cleaning process can strip away the technical coatings and destroy the adhesives used in the lamination process.
