Product Overview
The Portwest Softshell Bodywarmer (3L) is a substantial piece of workwear designed for those who require core warmth without the restriction of sleeves. This unisex gilet is crafted from a durable polyester blend, offering a professional appearance while standing up to the rigours of a busy working day. It provides an excellent balance of weather protection and breathability, making it a staple for any outdoor or warehouse-based professional who needs to maintain their range of motion.
Key Features
- The three-layer softshell construction ensures excellent wind resistance and water-repellency, keeping you comfortable in unpredictable weather conditions.
- A substantial fabric weight provides an extra layer of insulation, which is ideal for maintaining core temperature in colder environments.
- The polyester blend fabric is engineered for longevity, ensuring the garment retains its shape and professional look even after frequent use.
- Available in a wide range of sizes from XS to XXXL, ensuring a proper fit for every member of your team.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a high-performance polyester blend, this bodywarmer is designed to be both sturdy and flexible. The three-layer technology works by bonding a water-resistant outer layer with a breathable inner membrane, resulting in a garment that protects you from the elements without causing overheating. The substantial weight of the fabric gives it a premium feel and provides enough warmth to serve as a primary outer layer during the spring and autumn, or a significant mid-layer during the winter months.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation. Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance—ideal for logos and names—and stands up to repeated washing without fading. Print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, making it a versatile choice for complex branding. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation in Telford to ensure a superior finish.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is highly versatile and suited to a variety of roles. It is an excellent choice for site managers and tradespeople who move between indoor and outdoor environments. It also serves as ideal uniform for delivery drivers and warehouse staff who need to stay warm while maintaining full range of motion in their arms. The professional finish makes it equally suitable for corporate events or as part of a cohesive team kit.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider what you will be wearing underneath. If you plan to layer this over a thick sweatshirt or hoodie, you may wish to opt for a more generous fit. For those wearing it over a simple polo shirt or office shirt, your standard size should provide a neat, professional silhouette.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your softshell bodywarmer, proper care is essential. Following standard washing instructions will preserve the water-resistant properties of the fabric and ensure the internal membrane continues to breathe effectively, extending the life of the garment.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals can break down the polyester fibres and damage the technical layers of the softshell. Similarly, careful drying is recommended to prevent the fabric from losing its shape or compromising the integrity of any applied customisation, ensuring your logo remains sharp and professional.
