Product Overview
The Premier Recyclight padded gilet represents a sophisticated approach to sustainable workwear, combining modern insulation technology with an environmentally conscious construction. This male-fit gilet is crafted from 100% certified recycled fabrics, offering a lightweight yet effective thermal layer for various professional settings. The horizontal baffle design is not merely aesthetic; it ensures that the recycled synthetic down remains evenly distributed, providing consistent warmth across the torso without unnecessary bulk. Its versatile nature allows it to transition seamlessly from a professional work environment to casual leisurewear, all while supporting your company's sustainability goals.
Key Features
- Horizontal Baffle Construction: The stitching creates specific chambers for the synthetic down, preventing the filling from shifting and ensuring reliable warmth throughout the garment.
- Sustainable Materials: Made from 100% certified recycled nylon and polyester, this garment helps businesses meet environmental targets without sacrificing performance.
- Secure Storage: Two welt jet zipped side pockets provide a safe place for essential tools or personal items, while the internal open pocket offers quick-access storage for mobile devices or notebooks.
- Portable Design: This lightweight layer is designed to fold down into its own stuff sack, making it an ideal choice for workers who need to adapt to changing weather conditions throughout the day.
- Protective Details: A covered zip with an integrated chin guard prevents irritation and protects against wind, while the cadet collar offers a smart, professional silhouette.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Recyclight gilet is defined by its clever balance of weight and weather protection. The outer shell is composed of recycled nylon, which provides a water-resistant barrier against light rain, keeping the wearer dry during transit or outdoor tasks. Internally, the recycled polyester lining and synthetic down fill mimic the insulating properties of traditional down while maintaining performance even if the conditions turn damp.
Despite its substantial warmth, the fabric feels smooth and unobtrusive, allowing for a full range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for active tradespeople who require core warmth without the restriction of sleeves. The inclusion of a zip-through front and inner zip guard ensures the gilet remains easy to operate while providing an extra layer of defense against drafts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This gilet is specifically designed with customisation in mind. A dedicated internal zip in the lining provides full embroidery access to the entire body of the garment, allowing for clean, professional application of company logos or individual names without damaging the insulation baffles. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this item, as it provides a durable, high-quality finish that aligns with the gilet’s professional aesthetic.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant graphics, the fabric also accommodates high-quality print. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, utilises decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the integrity of the recycled fabrics while ensuring your team looks unified and professional.
Use Cases
The versatile design makes this gilet suitable for a wide array of environments. It is an excellent choice for site managers and surveyors who require a professional appearance while moving between indoor offices and outdoor locations. It also serves as a perfect corporate uniform piece for transport and logistics staff, providing warmth without the restriction of sleeves. Its ability to pack away into a stuff sack also makes it a reliable companion for commuters and those working in variable weather.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider what you intend to wear beneath the gilet. If you plan to layer it over a heavy-weight sweatshirt or a fleece, you may find a slightly larger size offers better comfort and mobility. The cadet collar is designed to sit comfortably over a polo shirt or shirt, making it a flexible addition to your existing uniform. The sizing ranges from XS to 4XL, catering to a broad spectrum of team members.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your gilet, it is important to follow the recommended care guidelines. Regular maintenance ensures the recycled synthetic insulation remains effective and the water-resistant outer shell continues to protect your team.
We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Exceeding this temperature may damage the recycled synthetic fibres and potentially degrade the adhesive used in any printed branding. Always ensure the gilet is thoroughly dried to maintain the loft of the internal baffles; if the insulation becomes clumped due to improper drying, it will lose its ability to trap heat effectively.
