Product Overview
The Regatta High Visibility two-tone thermal bodywarmer (RG486) is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require both high-visibility protection and unrestricted movement. This bodywarmer combines a technical four-way stretch outer fabric with a durable water-repellent finish, ensuring that light rain and road spray do not hinder your workday. Unlike traditional, bulky outerwear, this garment utilises a lightweight thermal construction to provide core warmth without compromising on agility.
Certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 1 standards, it provides a reliable level of visibility for various industrial environments. The strategic inclusion of darker contrast panels is a practical design choice, specifically intended to mask the inevitable dirt and grease encountered in demanding work settings, thereby maintaining a professional appearance for longer periods.
Key Features
- Four-Way Stretch Fabric: The outer material is engineered with elastane to allow for a full range of motion, which is essential for tasks requiring frequent reaching or bending.
- Warmloft Insulation: This synthetic down-touch technology provides excellent thermal retention while remaining remarkably lightweight, keeping the wearer warm during cold shifts.
- Certified Safety: Meeting EN ISO 20471 Class 1 standards ensures you remain visible in low-light conditions, providing an essential layer of safety on-site.
- Strategic Storage: Equipped with one zipped chest pocket, two lower zipped pockets, and an internal pocket, providing secure and accessible space for tools and personal items.
- Practical Comfort: A fleece-lined collar offers additional warmth around the neck, while stretch binding to the armholes and hem ensures a secure fit that keeps drafts at bay.
Design & Performance
The garment is constructed from a blend of 93% polyester and 7% elastane. This specific composition is chosen for its ability to balance durability with flexibility. The polyester provides the necessary resilience for daily wear in industrial environments, while the elastane ensures the bodywarmer moves with the wearer rather than resisting them.
Performance is further enhanced by the durable water-repellent finish. This treatment causes water to bead off the surface, preventing the fabric from becoming heavy and saturated in damp conditions. The interior features a concealed zip, which is a thoughtful addition for seamless customisation, allowing access for branding without compromising the internal lining or insulation.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This thermal bodywarmer is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names. The integrated concealed inner zip is specifically designed to provide easy access for our embroidery frames, ensuring a clean finish on the inside of the garment.
Alternatively, if you require a large, bold design on the rear to maximise visibility and brand recognition, our high-quality print methods are equally effective. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility, where our team has been perfecting workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for logistics personnel, warehouse staff, and tradespeople who operate in environments where mobility is as important as visibility. The Class 1 certification makes it appropriate for sites with lower-speed traffic or as a supplementary layer for workers in dirty environments where the contrast panels will help maintain a cleaner look throughout the week.

Practical Advice
This bodywarmer is designed with a technical fit to maximise the efficiency of the thermal insulation. We recommend choosing your standard size for a snug fit that layers comfortably over a sweatshirt or hoodie. The stretch binding ensures that even with multiple layers, the garment will sit correctly against the body to retain heat.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and the water-repellent finish of this garment, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions. We recommend a mild wash with a low spin cycle. Using harsh detergents or high spin speeds can degrade the reflective tapes and the fabric's protective coating over time.
Do not use bleach, as this will permanently damage the fluorescent pigments and reduce the safety effectiveness of the garment. It should not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned; instead, it should be hung to dry naturally. To protect the reflective elements, always wash the garment inside out and ensure all fasteners are closed before the cycle begins. Finally, store the bodywarmer away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation of the high-visibility colours.
