Result Urban Outdoor Women's ice bird padded gilet

Product Overview

The Result Urban Outdoor Women's Ice Bird Padded Gilet is a masterclass in balancing insulation with a lightweight feel. This contemporary garment is specifically tailored for a feminine fit, providing a sleek alternative to bulky traditional bodywarmers without compromising on thermal efficiency. Engineered for those who need to remain mobile while staying warm, it features a hand-filled polyester wadding that offers exceptional heat retention. The exterior is both water-repellent and windproof, making it a reliable outer layer for changeable British weather or a substantial mid-layer in more extreme conditions.

Key Features

• Stand-up collar with integrated chin guard: Provides essential protection for the neck against wind chill, with a guard to prevent the zip from irritating the skin.
• Adjustable shock cord hem: Allows the wearer to tighten the fit, sealing in warmth and ensuring the gilet sits correctly regardless of layering.
• Secure zipped pockets: Both the front pockets and an internal chest pocket offer safe storage for essential tools or mobile devices, keeping them close at hand.
• Inner storm flap: An added layer of protection behind the main zip to prevent wind penetration and maintain core body temperature.
• Quiet-to-wear fabric: The soft-handle finish ensures that movement is not accompanied by the rustle often associated with synthetic outerwear, which is particularly useful in professional environments.

Design & Performance

The construction of this gilet relies on a high-density 50D polyester outer shell, paired with a smooth polyester taffeta lining for easy layering over knitwear or polo shirts. The insulation is achieved through a super air-soft polyester fibre fill, which is hand-filled to ensure even distribution and prevent cold spots. Despite its significant padding, the gilet remains remarkably light and easy to pack, making it a versatile choice for staff who move between site and office. The twin-needle quilting design is not merely aesthetic; it serves to keep the internal wadding stable, ensuring the garment maintains its shape and performance through repeated wear.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

For this specific garment, we recommend embroidery as the primary method of customisation. The quilted nature of the fabric makes it less suitable for traditional printing methods, but the internal access points at the lower back and left chest are specifically designed to allow our embroidery machinery to produce a clean, professional finish without compromising the lining. Embroidery provides a durable, high-quality appearance that stands up to the rigours of daily workwear. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, uses precision techniques to ensure your company logo is reproduced with absolute clarity.

Use Cases

The Ice Bird Gilet is perfectly suited for professionals in client-facing roles who frequently work outdoors, such as estate agents, site managers, or event coordinators. Its polished, contemporary appearance also makes it an excellent choice for corporate uniforms where a professional image is as important as practical warmth. It is particularly effective for staff working in large, unheated environments like warehouses or exhibition halls.

Practical Advice

This gilet features a contemporary fit, so we advise reviewing the size range from XS (8) to XL (16) to ensure the best silhouette. When layering, this gilet performs best over a moisture-wicking base layer or a medium-weight fleece, as it is designed to trap heat close to the body. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider the next size up for comfort.

Caring for your product

To maintain the water-repellent properties and the loft of the internal insulation, this garment should be washed at 30°C. Using a higher temperature can damage the synthetic fibres and lead to a loss of thermal efficiency.

Bleaching must be avoided at all costs, as it will degrade the polyester outer shell and cause irreversible discolouration to both the fabric and your embroidered logo. We also advise against dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can break down the hand-filled wadding.

This gilet should not be tumble dried or ironed. High heat from a dryer or iron will melt the delicate polyester fibres and flatten the air-soft handle, effectively stripping the garment of its insulating properties. For the best results, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
