The Uneek UC614 Printable Softshell Gilet is a refined layering solution designed for professionals who require both mobility and a polished appearance. This medium-weight garment bridges the gap between casual wear and technical workwear, offering a two-layer construction that prioritises weather resistance and internal warmth. Unlike standard outerwear, this gilet has been specifically engineered with customisation in mind, ensuring that your branding remains the focal point without the technical hurdles often found in synthetic fabrics.
Advanced Two-Layer Fabric: The 100% polyester outer shell provides a robust barrier against the elements, while the microfleece inner layer traps heat to keep the core warm during cooler shifts.
YKK Main Zipper: Industry-standard YKK zippers are utilised for their legendary reliability; a gilet is only as good as its fastening, and these are built to withstand daily use.
Professional Finishing Details: The internal facing is specifically designed to hide embroidery back-stitching below the back neckline, ensuring the interior looks as clean as the exterior.
Functional Weather Shielding: The combination of a stand-up collar and integrated chin guard prevents wind chill from penetrating the neck area, providing comfort in exposed environments.
Secure Storage: Two zipped pockets offer safe harbour for essential tools or personal items, preventing loss during active movement.
Performance is dictated by the composition of the fabric. The UC614 utilises a two-layer softshell that achieves a delicate balance between being windproof and breathable. This allows moisture from physical exertion to escape while preventing cold gusts from reaching the body. The 100% polyester microfleece lining is soft to the touch and provides significant thermal retention without adding unnecessary bulk. Furthermore, the fabric is elastane-free, a deliberate design choice that prevents the common issue of "ink migration" or fabric puckering during the customisation process.
This gilet is a primary choice for businesses looking to showcase their identity. For those seeking a traditional, high-end finish, embroidery is recommended for chest logos or staff names. The UC614 features a dedicated decorators' access point and an internal facing that hides the unsightly reverse-side of embroidery, maintaining a professional finish inside and out.
Alternatively, the elastane-free fabric makes this gilet exceptionally well-suited for print. Whether you require large, bold branding on the back or crisp, detailed logos on the front, the smooth polyester surface ensures superior ink adhesion and colour vibrance. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your brand is represented accurately.
The sleeveless design makes this gilet ideal for tradespeople who require full arm articulation, such as electricians, plumbers, or warehouse operatives. Its professional aesthetic also makes it a staple for delivery drivers, site managers, and event staff who need to remain warm without the restrictive nature of a full jacket.
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our technical facility in Telford, we combine decades of heritage with modern customisation techniques. We understand that your workwear is a walking billboard for your business, which is why we only stock garments like the UC614 that meet our stringent standards for durability and branding quality.
As a unisex garment, the UC614 offers a versatile fit. For those working in outdoor environments, we recommend layering this gilet over a moisture-wicking polo shirt or sweatshirt. This allows for easy temperature regulation throughout the day. If you are between sizes, consider the volume of the layers you intend to wear underneath before making your selection.
To maintain the structural integrity and technical properties of this gilet, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is high enough to effectively remove workplace grime and oils without damaging the polyester fibres or the adhesive bonds used in printing.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester microfleece and cause significant fading to both the garment and your custom branding. Similarly, the use of fabric softeners should be avoided, as they can coat the fibres and reduce the breathability and showerproof effectiveness of the softshell material.
When drying, it is best to air dry the garment. High heat from tumble dryers can cause the synthetic layers to delaminate or shrink, potentially distorting your embroidered or printed logos. A cool iron may be used if necessary, but take care to avoid direct contact with any printed areas.
