Product Overview
The Tee Jays Lite Bodywarmer is a sophisticated choice for professionals seeking a versatile layering piece that does not sacrifice style for function.

The use of premium materials and a matte finish ensures it looks as professional in a boardroom as it does on a site visit.
Key Features

- Recycled 380T Lining: Utilizing recycled nylon, the interior is smooth for easy layering and reflects a commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
- SBS Zip with Chin Guard: A high-quality full-length zip ensures reliable operation, while the integrated chin guard and inner zip guard prevent irritation and snagging.
- Secure Storage: Two front zip pockets and an internal pocket provide safe spaces for essential tools or personal items.
- Adjustable Drawcord Hem: This feature allows you to seal in heat and customise the fit to your specific requirements.
Design & Performance
The outer shell is constructed from a recycled matte textured ripstop polyester. Ripstop technology is essential for workwear as it prevents small punctures or nicks from developing into larger tears, significantly extending the life of the garment. The matte finish provides a modern, understated aesthetic that avoids the sheen often found in lower-quality outerwear.
Performance is further enhanced by the inclusion of the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS 100) certification, ensuring that the materials used are verified for their recycled content. This makes the Tee Jays Lite Bodywarmer an excellent choice for businesses looking to align their uniform with environmental responsibility without compromising on garment durability.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bodywarmer is designed to be an excellent canvas for company branding. The smooth ripstop surface and internal access make it compatible with both print and embroidery. We recommend embroidery for corporate logos or staff names, as it provides a textured, authoritative appearance that withstands frequent wear.
For larger, more vibrant branding, our printing services are ideal for making a bold visual impact. Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility. MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your logo is rendered with precision and longevity.
Use Cases
This gilet is perfectly suited for corporate casual uniforms, event staff, and logistics professionals who require core warmth while maintaining full arm mobility. It is also a popular choice for retail and lifestyle brands looking for premium, retail-ready merchandise that reflects quality and sustainability.

Practical Advice
As a lightweight garment, this bodywarmer is designed to be worn over a polo shirt or sweatshirt. If you intend to wear it over heavier knitwear or a thick hoodie, you may wish to consider how the tailored fit will accommodate the extra layers. The drawcord hem is particularly useful for preventing draughts when working in exposed locations.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your bodywarmer correctly is vital to preserve the thermal properties of the DuPont™ padding and the integrity of the recycled materials. We strongly advise following the specific instructions found on the internal care label to ensure the garment remains functional for as long as possible.
Failure to follow the recommended temperature or drying instructions can lead to the padding clumping or the showerproof coating degrading prematurely. By adhering to the provided care guidelines, you ensure that your custom embroidery and the technical fabrics remain in peak condition.
