Why teams love a gilet

A gilet keeps the body warm while leaving the arms free, which makes it one of the most practical layers for anyone who reaches, lifts or works with their hands. It works over a polo in autumn, over a fleece in winter, and under a waterproof when the weather turns.

Freedom to move

No sleeves to snag or restrict, ideal for physical work and driving.

Easy to layer

Adds warmth without bulk as part of a layering system. See our layering guide.

A big branding space

Chest logo on the front and a clear back panel for your company name or web address.

Choose your style

The right gilet depends on where your team works and how cold it gets.

Padded bodywarmers

Quilted, insulated warmth for cold yards, sites and outdoor roles.

Softshell gilets

Smart, wind-resistant and a clean surface for embroidery. See softshell vs fleece.

Fleece gilets

Lightweight and breathable for indoor and front-of-house teams.

Hi-vis gilets & vests

For roles where your risk assessment calls for visibility. See hi-vis workwear and how hi-vis works.

Multi-pocket work gilets

Tool and phone pockets for trades who want storage on the body.

Matching layers

Pair with fleeces & work jackets or hoodies for a coordinated team look.

A standard gilet with reflective trim is not the same as a certified hi-vis garment. If your risk assessment requires hi-vis, check the garment is certified to the class you need.

Getting the branding right on a gilet

Embroidery

Works beautifully on softshell and fleece. On padded gilets we place the logo on a flat panel where possible, as stitching through quilted padding can pucker. See embroidery vs print.

Print & transfer

Best for hi-vis and for large back designs. Branding is kept clear of reflective tape. See our logo placement guide.

Common questions

What is the difference between a gilet and a bodywarmer?

In the UK the two words are mostly used for the same thing: a sleeveless jacket that keeps the body warm. Bodywarmer is often used for padded, insulated styles, and gilet for lighter softshell or fleece versions.

Can you embroider on a padded gilet?

Yes. We position the logo on a flat area where possible so the stitching sits cleanly, and we send a proof before anything is stitched.

Do you supply hi-vis gilets?

Yes. Hi-vis vests and gilets are available. Check the class your risk assessment requires and we will help you choose a certified option.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Order one gilet or a full team set, and add matching ones later.

How quickly can we get them?

Stock items are dispatched next day, and UK delivery is free on orders over £250. Ask us for the current turnaround on branded orders.
