Product Overview
The Premier PR814 Windchecker Gilet is a meticulously engineered garment designed for those who require both performance and environmental responsibility. This two-layer softshell bodywarmer provides a sleek, professional silhouette while offering practical protection against the elements. Its construction from 100% certified recycled polyester reflects a modern approach to workwear, ensuring your team looks professional while supporting sustainable practices.
Key Features
The full zip-through style with a chin guard prevents irritation when fully fastened, ensuring comfort during long shifts.
Two zipped side pockets provide secure storage for essential tools or personal items, keeping them safe and accessible throughout the day.
An elasticated drawcord hem with a plastic cord lock allows for a tailored fit, effectively sealing out cold drafts and maintaining core warmth.
The cadet collar offers an additional layer of protection for the neck, providing a barrier against wind and rain in outdoor environments.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight gilet is built using a sophisticated two-layer softshell fabric. The outer layer carries the Windchecker trademark, providing a reliable barrier against wind and light moisture, which is essential for the unpredictable British weather. Inside, a bonded fleece lining offers essential warmth and a soft touch against the skin, making it an excellent temperature regulator for active roles.
The fabric choice is not just about performance; the use of 100% recycled polyester ensures a lower environmental impact without compromising on durability. The material is hard-wearing and designed to maintain its shape over time, standing up to the rigours of daily wear in a busy corporate or trade environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The PR814 is specifically designed to accommodate high-quality customisation. Its smooth softshell surface makes it an ideal canvas for screen printing, allowing for sharp, vibrant designs that stand out clearly. This is particularly effective for larger promotional branding or bold company logos on the back of the garment.
For a more traditional and enduring professional finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is perfect for corporate logos and individual names, adding a tactile, premium feel to the gilet. Our in-house team at our Telford facility, established in 1976, manages the entire process to ensure your branding is executed with the highest level of precision.
Use Cases
This gilet is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is perfectly suited for corporate environments where a smart-casual layer is required over a shirt or polo. It is equally effective for tradespeople who need core warmth without the restriction of sleeves, allowing for a full range of movement during physical tasks. Given its broad size range from S to 5XL, it is an inclusive option for entire workforces.

Practical Advice
Due to its softshell construction, this gilet is designed to fit comfortably over a base layer or a light sweatshirt. If you intend to wear it over multiple heavy layers, you may wish to consult our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit. The drawcord hem is particularly useful for those who prefer a more fitted look while maintaining a full seal against the wind.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and oils without damaging the bonded layers of the softshell fabric or the integrity of the Windchecker finish.
It is important to avoid using bleach, as harsh chemicals can degrade the recycled polyester fibres and cause the colour of your custom branding to fade prematurely. Consistent care will ensure the gilet continues to provide wind resistance and professional branding for the duration of its lifespan.
