Product Overview
The SOL'S Wilson Lightweight Padded Bodywarmer is a sophisticated thermal layer designed for professionals who require warmth without the restrictive bulk of a traditional jacket. This gilet combines high-performance insulation with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for both active work environments and corporate settings. Constructed with a premium down and feather fill, it offers an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, while the incorporation of Sorona® and recycled polyester padding highlights a commitment to modern, sustainable fabric technology.
Key Features
- Premium 90% down and 10% feather insulation provides superior natural warmth, keeping the wearer comfortable in cooler conditions.
- The showerproof polyamide outer shell offers essential protection against light rain, ensuring the core remains dry during unpredictable weather.
- A stand-up collar and full-length low profile zip with an integrated chin guard prevent irritation and provide a seal against the wind.
- Functional storage is provided via two front zip pockets and two internal pockets, allowing for the secure carriage of essential tools or personal items.
- The packable design allows the garment to be compressed into an unbranded bag, making it a highly portable option for workers on the move.
- An unbranded size label and open hem design facilitate easy re-branding and a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.
Design & Performance
This bodywarmer is engineered for durability and performance. The outer polyamide fabric is chosen for its resilient nature, capable of withstanding the daily rigours of a professional environment. The internal padding features a strategic blend of Sorona® and recycled polyester in transition areas, which enhances the garment's shape retention and thermal efficiency. The lightweight nature of the fabric ensures that the wearer maintains full range of motion, which is critical for tradespeople and active staff. The open hem provides a clean silhouette that sits comfortably over base layers or under heavier outerwear when the temperature drops.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Wilson Bodywarmer is an excellent candidate for customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos and staff names, providing a textured, high-quality finish that withstands regular wear. Alternatively, for large-scale branding or bold promotional designs, our high-quality print services are perfectly suited to the smooth polyamide surface.

Practical Advice
The lightweight profile of this bodywarmer makes it a superb layering piece. For maximum thermal efficiency, we recommend wearing it over a technical base layer or a medium-weight sweatshirt. If you intend to wear the gilet over bulkier clothing, such as a heavy hoodie, you may wish to consider the fit to ensure ease of movement through the arms and chest.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your lightweight bodywarmer, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided on the internal garment label. Proper maintenance ensures the down filling retains its loft and the showerproof coating remains effective over time.
Failure to adhere to recommended washing temperatures can damage the delicate down and feather fibres, leading to a loss of insulation. Similarly, using incorrect drying methods or harsh chemicals can compromise the integrity of the polyamide outer shell and the vibrancy of your customised branding.
