Product Overview
The Tee Jays Mountain Fleece Bodywarmer is a substantial, heavy-weight layering piece designed for those who require both warmth and durability in demanding environments. Constructed from a premium polyester fleece, this gilet offers exceptional thermal insulation without the bulk of a full jacket, making it an ideal choice for active professionals. The addition of reinforced ripstop panels on the shoulders ensures that the garment can withstand the rigours of daily wear, particularly when carrying equipment or tools. It is a robust, functional garment that does not compromise on professional appearance.
Key Features
- Reinforced Ripstop Shoulder Panels: Crafted from a blend of polyester and elastane, these panels provide extra protection against abrasion in high-wear areas, extending the life of your workwear.
- High-Quality SBS Zippers: The full-length front zip and pocket closures feature branded pulls and are built for longevity and smooth operation.
- Integrated Chin Guard: A thoughtful design detail that prevents the zip from rubbing, ensuring comfort during long shifts in cold conditions.
- Multiple Secure Pockets: Including two front zip pockets and a dedicated right chest pocket, providing ample storage for essentials like mobile phones or small tools.
- Elasticated Bound Armholes and Hem: These provide a snug, secure fit that helps to trap heat and prevent draughts while maintaining a clean silhouette.
Design & Performance
This bodywarmer is engineered for performance in the field. The heavy-weight polyester fabric is chosen for its ability to retain heat while remaining breathable, a vital combination for outdoor work. The inclusion of elastane in the shoulder panels introduces a degree of stretch where it is needed most, allowing for a full range of arm movement without the fabric pulling or resisting. The open hem design ensures the gilet sits comfortably over trousers, while the inner zip guard adds an extra layer of protection against biting winds. Its construction meets the OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring the materials are free from harmful substances, and is produced under BSCI-compliant conditions, reflecting a commitment to ethical manufacturing.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the thick, textured pile of this high-quality fleece, this garment is suited exclusively for embroidery. While print methods struggle to adhere to or sit flat on fleece fibres, embroidery provides a premium, three-dimensional finish that remains permanent for the life of the garment. Our in-house embroidery team, established in 1976, uses high-tensile threads to ensure your company logo is rendered with precision. The heavy-weight nature of the fabric provides an excellent stable base for even the most complex stitch patterns, ensuring your branding looks sharp and professional.
Use Cases
The rugged construction of the Mountain Fleece Bodywarmer makes it highly suitable for security personnel who require a professional yet functional outer layer. It is equally effective for outdoor leisure activities such as fishing or sailing, where core warmth is essential. Trade professionals working in unheated warehouses or on-site during transitional seasons will find it an indispensable part of their daily kit.

Practical Advice
This gilet is designed as a heavy-weight outer layer. For the best thermal performance, we recommend wearing it over a moisture-wicking base layer or a polo shirt. If you intend to wear it over a thick sweatshirt or hoodie, you may wish to consider your sizing requirements to ensure a comfortable fit across the chest and shoulders.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal properties and the integrity of the embroidered branding, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash on a gentle cycle. High temperatures should be avoided, as excessive heat can cause synthetic polyester fibres to lose their soft texture or become brittle.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will lead to discolouration of the fleece and can weaken the embroidery threads, causing them to fray or lose their lustre. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment. If you must use a tumble dryer, ensure it is on a low-heat setting to prevent the elasticated bindings and branded zip pulls from sustaining heat damage. Do not iron the fleece or the embroidery directly, as high heat can melt the fibres.
