Branded Gilets & Bodywarmers UK

Gilets and bodywarmers are one of the most practical workwear layers available — warmth without restricting movement, worn easily over a polo shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie. Popular across trade teams, warehouse staff, hospitality and corporate settings, they're a versatile addition to any branded uniform.

Gilet or Bodywarmer — What's the Difference?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there's a genuine distinction: a gilet typically refers to a lighter, softshell-style layering piece, while a bodywarmer usually means a more heavily insulated, padded or quilted style built for colder conditions. Our range covers both, from lightweight softshell gilets through to insulated padded bodywarmers.

Every style in this collection is suitable for embroidery or print, giving a durable, professional finish that holds up wash after wash. Available in men's and women's fits from leading brands including Regatta, Portwest and Result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a gilet and a bodywarmer?

A gilet is typically a lighter softshell layering piece, while a bodywarmer usually refers to a more insulated, padded style. Both are sleeveless and designed to add warmth without restricting arm movement.

What should I wear a gilet or bodywarmer over?

Most are designed to layer over a polo shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie, making them a practical mid-layer for changeable working conditions rather than a standalone outer layer in heavy rain.

Is embroidery or print better for gilets and bodywarmers?

Embroidery is generally the more durable, professional-looking choice for everyday workwear use, while print suits larger or more colourful one-off designs.

Are these suitable for outdoor site work?

Yes — many styles are water-resistant or windproof, making them a practical choice for trade, warehouse and outdoor site teams, though for sustained heavy rain a fully waterproof jacket is a better fit.

Do you stock women's fit gilets and bodywarmers?

Yes — dedicated women's fits are available across most styles in this collection, alongside unisex and men's options.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Many gilets and bodywarmers can be ordered individually, while larger team orders benefit from bulk pricing. Contact us for a tailored quote.
