Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Navigate fleece bodywarmer is a refined addition to any professional’s toolkit, designed to provide essential core warmth without the restrictive bulk of a traditional jacket. Utilising specialised Layerlite fabric, this garment functions as a sophisticated mid-layer during the winter months or as a standalone outer layer when the weather turns milder. Its lightweight construction makes it an ideal choice for active professionals who require both agility and thermal protection throughout their working day.
Key Features
Recycled Mini Grid Fleece: Constructed from 100% polyester mini grid fleece, this material offers superior heat retention while maintaining a low-profile, lightweight feel for maximum comfort.
Sustainable Fabric Choice: In a move towards more responsible workwear, this garment is made from at least 30% recycled materials, helping to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
Stretch Binding Finish: The armholes, hem, and collar are finished with stretch binding, which provides a secure fit that moves with the wearer and helps to trap warmth where it is needed most.
Optimised for Layering: The streamlined design ensures it can be worn comfortably under waterproof shells or heavier coats, making it a versatile staple for fluctuating British weather.
Design & Performance
This bodywarmer is engineered for durability and daily use. The mini grid texture of the fleece is not merely a design choice; it creates tiny pockets of air that insulate the body while remaining breathable enough to prevent overheating during physical exertion. The 100% polyester composition ensures the garment is hard-wearing and resistant to the usual wear and tear found on a job site. Furthermore, the inclusion of stretch binding at the key points of movement ensures the garment retains its shape and professional appearance, even after repeated use in demanding environments.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
The Navigate fleece bodywarmer is specifically curated for embroidery. Due to the textured nature of the mini grid fleece, print methods are unsuitable as they cannot achieve the necessary flat surface for a durable bond. Embroidery, however, excels on this fabric. Our expert in-house team at MyWorkwear, based in Telford since 1976, uses precision stitching to ensure your company logo is rendered with exceptional detail and depth. This method provides a premium, long-lasting finish that can withstand the rigours of industrial washing and daily wear, ensuring your brand always looks its best.
Use Cases
This garment is particularly well-suited for tradespeople such as electricians, carpenters, and engineers who work in varied temperatures and require full range of motion in their arms. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff and delivery drivers who need to maintain a professional appearance while staying warm in drafty or outdoor environments. Its sleek profile also makes it appropriate for site managers and surveyors who transition between the office and the field.

Practical Advice
The Navigate fleece bodywarmer is designed with a standard fit to allow for base layers underneath. If you are between sizes or intend to wear it over a heavy-duty work shirt, we recommend checking the chest measurements provided to ensure the best fit. For those using this as a mid-layer, the lightweight fabric ensures it won't feel restrictive under a primary work jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your fleece bodywarmer, it is important to adhere to specific care routines. Proper care ensures the recycled fibres remain effective at trapping heat and your embroidered logo stays vibrant.
This garment is machine washable. We recommend a standard domestic wash to remove dirt and sweat, but you must avoid using bleach. Bleaching agents will compromise the integrity of the polyester fibres and can cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your custom embroidery.
Do not tumble dry this item. High heat in a dryer can cause the synthetic fleece to shrink or lose its soft texture. Instead, we advise air drying. Similarly, you should not iron this garment; the high temperature of an iron can melt the polyester surface and damage the intricate stitching of your logo.
Dry cleaning is also not recommended, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can strip the fleece of its insulating properties and potentially degrade the recycled materials used in its construction.
