Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this bodywarmer is designed for durability and longevity in demanding environments. The medium-weight fabric offers a substantial, sturdy feel that provides essential warmth while maintaining a lightweight enough profile to ensure you aren't weighed down. Polyester is a naturally resilient material, meaning this garment will hold its shape and professional finish even after prolonged use on the job. The 2-layer softshell technology is specifically chosen to provide a barrier against the wind while remaining breathable enough for active work.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation. Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance—ideal for company logos and individual names—and stands up to repeated washing without fading or losing its sharp detail. Alternatively, print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, making it a popular choice for high-impact branding. Our experienced in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation from our facility in Telford, ensuring your branding is applied with the utmost precision.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is an excellent choice for tradespeople who move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments. It is particularly well-suited for delivery drivers, site supervisors, and warehouse staff who need to maintain their core temperature while keeping their arms free for manual tasks. It also serves as a smart, professional outer layer for office-based staff visiting active work areas.

Practical Advice
The extensive size range means that whether you are an XS or a 6XL, you won't be left out in the cold. For optimal comfort in winter months, we recommend layering this bodywarmer over a medium-weight sweatshirt. If you typically wear heavy layers underneath your workwear, you may wish to consider a more generous size to ensure a comfortable fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your softshell bodywarmer, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided on the internal label. Proper maintenance ensures that the technical properties of the 2-layer fabric remain effective for the life of the garment.
Failure to adhere to the recommended laundering guidelines could lead to the degradation of the polyester fibres or affect the integrity of your custom branding. By following the care label, you ensure that your embroidery or print remains vibrant and that the garment continues to look as professional as the day it arrived.
