Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Northdale insulated bodywarmer is a well-engineered outer layer designed to bridge the gap between corporate smartness and practical weather protection. Built for the modern professional, this garment provides an essential layer of warmth during those unpredictable transitional seasons. By utilising recycled synthetic insulation, Regatta has managed to produce a bodywarmer that offers substantial thermal retention while maintaining a sleek, low-bulk silhouette that fits comfortably over a shirt or polo.
Key Features
- Hard-wearing 300D polyester: This dense weave provides a rugged exterior that resists the daily abrasions found in active work environments, ensuring the garment remains in service for longer.
- Recycled synthetic Warmloft insulation: The down-touch filling offers superior warmth-to-weight performance, keeping you warm without the restrictive bulk of traditional heavy jackets.
- Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish: The outer fabric is treated to shed light rain and moisture, preventing the insulation from becoming saturated and maintaining its thermal efficiency.
- Sustainable Construction: By incorporating recycled materials, this bodywarmer supports corporate social responsibility goals without compromising on technical performance.
Design & Performance
The Northdale bodywarmer is constructed with a focus on freedom of movement and durability. The 300D polyester outer is notably sturdy, designed to withstand the rigours of a busy workday while keeping its shape. Inside, the Warmloft insulation is highly compressible, which means the garment is easy to pack away when the temperature rises, yet it regains its loft quickly to trap heat when needed.
The quilted design is not merely aesthetic; it ensures the insulation remains evenly distributed, preventing cold spots. Despite its robust construction, the bodywarmer is remarkably manageable, making it an ideal choice for tradespeople or managers who are frequently moving between a vehicle, the office, and the site.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor it to your brand’s specific requirements. Embroidery is highly recommended for a superior, professional appearance, particularly for company logos or staff names on the chest. The dense 300D fabric provides an excellent foundation for high-quality stitching, ensuring your branding stays crisp and secure.
For larger, high-impact graphics across the back, our printing services offer a bold alternative. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility by our expert team, who have been refining their craft since MyWorkwear was established in 1976.

Use Cases
The Northdale is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is particularly effective for logistics and delivery drivers who require core warmth but need their arms free for handling goods. It is also a popular choice for site supervisors and surveyors who need a professional, smart appearance while remaining protected from the elements during site visits.

Practical Advice
The Northdale bodywarmer is designed with a standard fit to allow for layering. If you intend to wear this over a heavy-weight fleece or a thick sweatshirt, you may wish to consider the measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. The size range extends up to 3XL, catering to a wide variety of team members. It works exceptionally well as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in extreme conditions, or as a standalone outer layer on brisk, dry days.
Caring for your product
To ensure your bodywarmer continues to provide effective insulation and maintains its professional appearance, it requires proper maintenance.
We recommend a cool machine wash using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a pure soap. Conventional detergents can sometimes contain additives that break down the water-repellent finish, so using the correct cleaning agent is vital for the garment's longevity.
Do not use bleach. Harsh chemicals will weaken the polyester fibres and can cause significant damage to the synthetic Warmloft insulation, reducing its ability to keep you warm.
Tumble dry on a low setting. This is actually beneficial for the insulation as it helps to 'fluff up' the synthetic down, ensuring it retains its loft. However, excessive heat must be avoided to prevent damage to the synthetic components.
Use a cool iron if necessary. High temperatures can melt synthetic fabrics, so if you must remove creases, ensure the iron is on its lowest setting. Do not dry clean, as the industrial solvents used in the process are too aggressive for the technical coatings and insulation of this garment.
