Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Navigate hybrid bodywarmer is a masterclass in functional layering, engineered for professionals who require warmth without the restrictive bulk of a traditional jacket. This garment utilizes a strategic hybrid construction, placing insulated polyamide panels where core warmth is needed most, while integrating flexible side panels to ensure your range of movement is never compromised. It is a lightweight solution that bridges the gap between a standard gilet and technical performance wear, making it an essential addition to a modern workwear uniform.
Key Features
- Polyamide Body Panels: The front and back panels are constructed from durable polyamide with a lightweight fill, providing effective insulation to keep your core warm in cooler environments.
- Extol Stretch Technology: The side panels, sleeves, and hood feature Extol stretch fabric, which allows for a high degree of flexibility and ensures the garment moves with you during physical tasks.
- Three-Pocket Configuration: Equipped with two zipped lower pockets and a dedicated chest pocket, providing secure storage for essential tools, mobile devices, or personal items.
- Integrated Hood: The stretch hood offers additional protection against the elements without adding excessive weight or obstructing peripheral vision.
Design & Performance
This bodywarmer is designed with the active professional in mind. The primary fabric is a lightweight polyester that offers a streamlined silhouette, perfect for layering over a polo shirt or under a more substantial waterproof shell. By using a lightweight fill rather than heavy padding, Regatta Professional has created a garment that provides thermal efficiency while remaining exceptionally breathable. The Extol stretch panels are particularly effective, ensuring that whether you are reaching overhead or working in tight spaces, the garment remains comfortable and well-fitted.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Navigate hybrid bodywarmer is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a sophisticated and enduring appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos and staff names, providing a textured, high-quality finish that stands up to the rigours of daily wear. Alternatively, for larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, print is a highly effective choice that ensures your brand is visible from a distance. Our specialist team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring every garment we process meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This versatile garment is ideally suited for a wide variety of sectors. It is a popular choice for logistics and warehouse staff who require freedom of movement but need to maintain core temperature in drafty environments. It is equally effective for tradespeople working on site, providing a professional appearance that transitions easily from a client meeting to active manual work. The lightweight nature also makes it a sensible choice for delivery drivers who are frequently moving between a vehicle and the outdoors.

Practical Advice
Due to the hybrid design and stretch side panels, this bodywarmer offers a close, professional fit. If you intend to wear it over heavier layers, such as a thick sweatshirt or hoodie, you may wish to consider the upper end of your usual size range. The tear-out tag is a thoughtful addition for those looking to rebrand the garment for their own business or for those who find traditional neck labels irritating during a long shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical properties of the insulation and the elasticity of the Extol stretch panels, it is important to follow the recommended care routine. We advise a delicate wash cycle to ensure the lightweight synthetic fill remains evenly distributed and the polyamide face fabric stays in peak condition.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Chlorine and other harsh bleaching agents will weaken the polyester fibres and can cause significant fading to both the garment fabric and your custom embroidery or print. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided as the chemicals involved can strip the fabric of its performance characteristics.
This bodywarmer should not be tumble dried. High heat can damage the synthetic stretch elements, potentially leading to a loss of shape. For the same reason, do not iron this item; the technical fabrics are heat-sensitive and direct contact with an iron could cause the material to melt or develop a permanent glaze.
