Product Overview
The Result Workguard Work-Guard Lite Gilet is a purposefully engineered garment designed for professionals who require a functional layer without the bulk of traditional outerwear. As part of the innovative LITE mix-and-match range, this gilet provides a sophisticated solution for warmer climates or high-intensity tasks where temperature regulation is paramount. The unlined construction ensures maximum breathability, while the technical fabric provides a necessary shield against the elements.
Key Features
- Breathable and Windproof Fabric: The poly-cotton twill is woven to block chilling winds while allowing internal moisture to escape, keeping you comfortable throughout the working day.
- Water-Repellent Finish: A protective coating ensures that light rain beads off the surface, providing essential protection during unpredictable British weather.
- Bellowed Multi-Use Pockets: These generous pockets offer ample storage for tools and personal items, featuring reflective tear-release tabs for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
- Reinforced Stress Points: Bar tacking at critical junctions ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of daily manual labour without tearing.
- Studded Storm Flap: The front zip is protected by a studded outer flap, preventing wind and water ingress through the fastening.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of 80% polyester and 20% cotton twill, this gilet strikes the ideal balance between durability and comfort. The fabric is a sturdy, medium-weight material that offers a hardwearing look while remaining light enough for summer use. The generous fit allows for a full range of movement, which is essential for tradespeople operating in restricted spaces.
Attention to detail is evident in the stand-up collar and the partially elasticised waist, which helps the garment retain its shape and provides a professional silhouette. The unlined design is a deliberate choice to facilitate rapid cooling, making it an excellent choice for those working in temperature-controlled warehouses or outdoor environments during the spring and summer months.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Work-Guard Lite Gilet is an excellent canvas for your corporate identity. Because of its sturdy twill weave, it is particularly well-suited for high-quality embroidery. Embroidery provides a permanent, professional finish that is ideal for company logos and staff names, projecting an air of established authority.
For those requiring larger, high-impact branding on the back of the garment, direct or transfer printing is also highly effective. Our in-house production team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind. The open decoration access point simplifies the process, ensuring consistent quality across your entire order.
Use Cases
This gilet is an essential piece of equipment for site managers, warehouse operatives, and delivery drivers. It provides the utility of multiple pockets without the restrictive nature of a full jacket. It is equally at home on a construction site as it is in a retail environment, providing a unified and professional appearance for your team.

Practical Advice
This garment features a generous fit to allow for ease of movement. If you intend to wear it over a thick sweatshirt or hoodie, your standard size should suffice. However, if you prefer a more tailored fit over a polo shirt, you may wish to consider the measurements provided in our size range, which extends from XS to 4XL.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your gilet, it is important to follow correct laundering procedures. Regular washing at a domestic temperature will remove dirt and debris that can compromise the breathability of the fabric.
The water-repellent finish is designed to be durable, but its effectiveness can be hindered by the use of fabric softeners; therefore, we recommend avoiding them to ensure the garment continues to shed water efficiently. Ensure the zip and studded flaps are closed before washing to prevent mechanical damage to the fabric or your custom branding.
