The Regatta Professional Octagon 3-layer bodywarmer (RG164) is a highly engineered piece of outerwear designed for the professional who requires both mobility and protection from the elements. Unlike standard fleece vests, this garment utilizes a technical 3-layer softshell construction that balances thermal insulation with weather resistance. It serves as an exceptional layering tool, providing the core warmth necessary for outdoor work during transitional seasons without the restrictive bulk of a full jacket.
Constructed from 100% polyester, the Octagon bodywarmer is built for the rigours of daily trade use. The fabric is a substantial, mid-to-heavyweight material that offers excellent wind resistance. Because it is a 3-layer system, the wind-resistant membrane is sandwiched between the outer shell and the warm inner lining, meaning it won't wear away or lose its effectiveness over time. The finish is professional and sleek, designed to sit comfortably over a sweatshirt or under a heavier waterproof coat if conditions deteriorate.
This garment has been specifically engineered with customisation in mind. The 3-layer fabric is designated as fully printable, providing a smooth, stable surface that allows for high-definition heat transfers—ideal for large, bold company branding on the back. For those seeking a more traditional and prestigious finish, the fabric's density also makes it an excellent candidate for embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of expertise since 1976, can help determine the best approach for your specific logo to ensure a sharp, durable result.
This bodywarmer is particularly suited for site managers, delivery drivers, and tradespeople who are frequently moving between indoor and outdoor environments. It provides the necessary core warmth for draughty warehouses or damp construction sites while keeping the arms free for manual tasks and machinery operation.
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a fixture of the UK garment industry. Operating from our base in Telford, we combine decades of technical knowledge with modern production techniques. We understand that your workwear is more than just clothing; it is a representation of your business standards.

When selecting your size, consider what you intend to wear underneath. If you plan to layer this over a heavy-duty hoodie or thick sweatshirt, you may find the generous sizing helpful, but please refer to the chest measurements provided to ensure the most professional fit. It is designed to be a streamlined garment; a closer fit will better retain body heat.
To maintain the performance of the waterproof and breathable membrane, we recommend a cool machine wash using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a pure soap. Conventional detergents can sometimes break down the water-repellent coatings over time, so using the correct cleaner will extend the life of the garment significantly.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and compromise the structural integrity of the fabric. Similarly, do not tumble dry or dry clean this item; high heat and harsh chemicals can delaminate the 3-layer membrane, essentially ruining the garment's weatherproofing.
Finally, do not iron this bodywarmer. The synthetic nature of the softshell material and the internal membrane are sensitive to direct heat, which can cause melting or permanent distortion. Following these steps ensures your branding remains vibrant and the garment remains functional for many seasons to come.
