- Recycled Polyamide Construction: Both the outer fabric and the 380T lining are crafted from recycled materials, meeting RCS 100 standards for environmental accountability.
- Full Length Two-Way SBS Zip: The high-quality zip allows for bottom-up ventilation or increased mobility when sitting or driving, adding a layer of practical versatility.
- Adjustable Hem: The customisable hem allows the wearer to seal in heat and tailor the fit to their specific body shape.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% recycled polyamide, the PureLite Bodywarmer is designed for durability and breathability. The fabric choice ensures that while the garment is effective at blocking the wind and repelling light moisture, it does not trap perspiration, making it ideal for active work environments. The internal padding is distributed evenly to prevent cold spots, and the stand-up collar provides essential protection for the neck against brisk winds.
The inclusion of two large front pockets and a secure inner pocket provides ample space for essential tools or mobile devices, ensuring functionality is never sacrificed for style. The 380T lining offers a smooth internal finish, allowing the gilet to glide easily over other garments without bunching or friction.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the recycled polyamide makes the Tee Jays PureLite an excellent canvas for customisation. For a professional corporate look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses high-tension machinery to ensure logos and staff names are rendered with precision and longevity. The padding is structured enough to support dense stitch counts without puckering.
For larger, high-impact branding, print remains a viable option. Whether you are looking to display a bold company logo or event branding, our in-house experts, established in 1976, will ensure the application adheres perfectly to the technical fabric, maintaining the garment's professional finish and water-repellent properties.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is particularly well-suited for site supervisors, logistics coordinators, and outdoor event staff who require a versatile layer that can adapt to changing conditions. Its lightweight nature makes it an excellent choice for corporate uniforms where a smart, uniform appearance is required across a team, regardless of the season.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider what you intend to wear underneath. This gilet is designed with a feminine cut; if you plan to wear it over a medium-weight sweatshirt or fleece, you may wish to consider one size larger than your usual fit to ensure full range of motion. The lightweight nature of the PureLite makes it an ideal middle layer for winter, as it provides heat without creating bulk under a waterproof shell.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the Bionic-Finish® Eco treatment and the integrity of the DuPont™ Sorona® padding, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided on the internal garment label. Proper maintenance ensures that the water-repellent barrier remains effective and the padding retains its loft over time.
We advise against using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and significantly reduce the breathability and water-repellency of the polyamide fabric. When washing, ensure all zips are closed to prevent the SBS hardware from catching on the fabric or the custom embroidery, which helps to preserve the professional look of your branding for many years.
