Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Falcon Padded Bodywarmer represents a sophisticated approach to technical workwear, combining environmental responsibility with high-performance protection. As a medium-weight three-layer softshell gilet, it is engineered to provide core warmth without the restrictive bulk of a full jacket. The outer shell is crafted from a blend of recycled polyester and elastane, offering a stretch that moves with the wearer, while the internal 5000mm membrane ensures a high degree of water resistance and breathability. This is a garment designed for those who require a professional appearance alongside practical, weather-resistant functionality.
Key Features
- Waterproof 5000mm Membrane: This technical layer provides a robust barrier against rainfall while allowing moisture vapour to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.
- Recycled Polar Fleece Lining: The internal lining is designed for superior heat retention, ensuring the core remains warm in cooler climates without excessive weight.
- Waterproof Zip System: Equipped with a full-length nylon zip and an inner zip guard to prevent wind and water ingress, ensuring the internal microclimate remains stable.
- Strategic Pocket Placement: Featuring a waterproof chest pocket, two front zip pockets, and three inner pockets, providing ample and secure storage for tools, mobile devices, and personal items.
- Bound Elasticated Armholes and Hem: These features ensure a snug fit that prevents draughts, maintaining thermal efficiency throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
Constructed as a three-layer softshell, the Falcon Bodywarmer balances durability with flexibility. The 94% recycled polyester outer shell is reinforced with 6% elastane, providing the necessary mechanical stretch for active roles in logistics, construction, or outdoor maintenance. The use of recycled polyester padding further enhances the garment's insulation properties while aligning with modern sustainability requirements. The fabric's medium-weight nature makes it an ideal year-round piece, substantial enough to ward off the chill but breathable enough to prevent overheating during intensive tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Falcon Bodywarmer is specifically designed with an "access for decoration" feature, making it a superior choice for corporate branding. For a professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names; our high-precision machinery ensures that the threadwork is crisp and durable. If your branding requires a larger, more vibrant display, our print services provide a bold alternative that stands out clearly against the softshell fabric. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, oversees the entire process to ensure your customisation meets our rigorous standards.
Use Cases
This unisex gilet is versatile enough for a variety of professional environments. It is particularly well-suited for site supervisors who transition between the office and the field, logistics personnel operating in draughty warehouses, and tradespeople who require core warmth with full arm mobility. Its clean, modern design also makes it an excellent choice for corporate event wear or as a unified team uniform for outdoor leisure businesses.

Practical Advice
This bodywarmer is designed with a unisex fit, making it a practical choice for outfitting entire teams. For the most effective thermal management, we recommend layering this over a moisture-wicking base layer or a medium-weight sweatshirt. The tear-out label is a useful feature for those who find traditional tags irritating or for businesses looking to rebrand the garment internally.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the Falcon Bodywarmer, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided. Regular maintenance ensures that the 5000mm waterproof membrane remains effective and that the recycled polyester padding retains its loft for warmth.
When washing, ensure all zips are closed to prevent mechanical damage to the fabric. Avoid the use of biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and degrade the water-repellent finish. We also recommend avoiding high heat during the drying process to protect the elastane fibres, which are vital for the garment's stretch and shape retention.
