Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Thermal long sleeve vest is an essential foundation for any professional outdoor uniform. When the British weather decides to be particularly uncooperative, a high-quality baselayer is the difference between a productive shift and an incredibly long, cold day. This vest is engineered to sit comfortably against the skin, providing a reliable thermal barrier that retains body heat without causing the wearer to overheat during physical exertion.
Key Features
- Polycotton Fabric: The blend of polyester and cotton ensures the garment is both breathable and durable, standing up to the rigours of daily wear while remaining soft to the touch.
- Lightly Brushed Interior: This finish creates a soft, textured surface on the inside of the garment, which increases the surface area for trapping warm air and provides superior comfort against the skin.
- Long Sleeves: Extended coverage ensures that heat is locked in from the torso down to the wrists, preventing cold spots when reaching or moving.
- Thermal Protection: Specifically designed to manage body temperature in cold environments, ensuring you stay warm even when stationary.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a medium-weight polycotton fabric, this thermal vest is designed for longevity. The polyester component provides the structural integrity required for workwear, ensuring the vest maintains its shape after repeated washing, while the cotton allows for natural moisture wicking. The lightly brushed finish is the secret to its performance; by raising the fibres of the fabric, Regatta has created a layer that feels substantial and fleecy, providing immediate warmth upon putting it on.
The fit is tailored to be close to the body, which is crucial for thermal efficiency. It fits seamlessly under work shirts, sweatshirts, or fleece jackets without adding unnecessary bulk or restricting movement, making it a versatile addition to any winter layering system.
Why No Customisation?
We supply this specific thermal vest as a non-customised item. As a dedicated baselayer designed to be worn directly against the skin, embroidery or heat-applied prints could lead to skin irritation or chafing during a long working day. Furthermore, since this garment is typically worn underneath several other layers of workwear, any branding would remain unseen. Our priority is ensuring the thermal performance and comfort of the garment remain uncompromised.
Use Cases
This thermal vest is an ideal choice for tradespeople working on unheated construction sites, agricultural workers, delivery drivers, or anyone whose role requires them to be outdoors for extended periods during the winter months. It is equally suited for warehouse staff working in cold storage or large, draughty environments where maintaining core temperature is vital for safety and comfort.

Practical Advice
To achieve the best thermal results, this vest should be worn as your first layer, directly against the skin. We recommend choosing your standard chest size to ensure a snug fit; a loose thermal vest is significantly less effective at trapping heat. For those working in sub-zero temperatures, pairing this with a medium-weight fleece and a windproof outer shell will provide the most effective protection against the elements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal properties and soft texture of this vest, we recommend a cool wash. High temperatures can damage the polyester fibres and cause the brushed interior to lose its loft, which would ultimately reduce the garment's ability to trap heat.
You should avoid using bleach, as this will break down the polycotton fibres and lead to premature wear. To ensure the vest retains its shape and fit, do not tumble dry; instead, allow it to air dry naturally. Ironing is not required and should be avoided, as direct heat can melt the synthetic fibres in the blend. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process are unnecessary for this fabric type and may affect the skin-side comfort.
