Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Zepelin Padded Bodywarmer is a technically proficient outer layer designed to provide warmth without the restrictive bulk of a traditional jacket. This gilet is engineered with a high-density 300T polyester outer shell, offering a sophisticated appearance that is suitable for both client-facing roles and active outdoor work. The shaped fit is specifically tailored for the female form, ensuring a professional silhouette that aligns with modern corporate standards.
As a garment designed for versatility, it serves as an excellent transitional piece. Whether worn over a polo shirt in the spring or as a thermal mid-layer during the winter months, the Zepelin bodywarmer provides reliable insulation. The quality of construction is backed by OEKO-TEX and BSCI certifications, reflecting a commitment to both product safety and ethical manufacturing processes.
Key Features
- The showerproof finish provides essential protection against light rain, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during outdoor tasks.
- A full-length low-profile zip with a chin guard and inner zip guard prevents skin irritation and blocks cold drafts from penetrating the garment.
- Strategic storage is provided by two front zip pockets and an internal media pocket, allowing for the secure and organised carriage of tools and electronics.
- The drawcord hem allows for a customisable fit, enabling the wearer to trap heat effectively and adjust the garment to their preferred comfort level.
- Specialised zip access for decoration is integrated into the design, allowing for high-quality branding to be applied without interfering with the internal padding.
Design & Performance
The performance of this bodywarmer is rooted in its 300T polyester construction. This high thread count results in a fabric that is wind-resistant and durable, capable of withstanding the rigours of daily wear. The internal polyester padding is lightweight but offers significant thermal retention by trapping air within its fibres, providing a high warmth-to-weight ratio that is ideal for active professionals.
Attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of branded zip pulls and a robust hanging loop, features that enhance the daily usability of the garment. The shaped fit ensures that the gilet remains close to the body, which not only looks professional but also improves thermal efficiency by reducing the volume of air the body needs to heat.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Zepelin is an ideal candidate for customisation. The dedicated zip access is a significant technical advantage; it allows our embroidery frames to be positioned correctly without sewing through the padding, ensuring the internal finish remains as clean as the external one.
For a traditional, high-end professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. The 300T outer fabric provides a stable base for detailed logos and staff names. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, our printing processes offer a sharp and durable finish. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility by a team with expertise dating back to 1976, ensuring your corporate identity is reproduced with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This gilet is particularly well-suited for professionals in the outdoor leisure, estate management, and logistics sectors. It is also an excellent choice for corporate teams who frequently move between temperature-controlled offices and cooler site environments, providing a smart, unified look for all staff members.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the gilet. Due to its shaped fit, those who plan to wear heavy sweatshirts or multiple layers may find a size larger provides better comfort. This garment is highly effective when paired with a moisture-wicking base layer for maximum thermal management.
Caring for your product
To ensure your bodywarmer continues to perform at its best, maintaining the integrity of the polyester padding and the outer finish is vital. Proper laundering preserves the garment's appearance and ensures your embroidered or printed logos remain in top condition for the life of the product.
Washing the garment correctly prevents the high-density fibres from breaking down. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the polyester material and cause your custom branding to lose its vibrancy. When drying, ensure the garment is handled in a way that prevents the padding from clumping, which would otherwise lead to cold spots and reduced insulation.
Ironing should be approached with extreme caution, particularly around branded areas. High heat can melt the synthetic fibres of the 300T outer or damage printed transfers. By following these care steps, you ensure the gilet remains a professional and functional part of your work wardrobe for the long term.
