Russell Athletic Heavy-Duty Gilet (J014M) | Heavy Duty Work Gilets
Product Description
The Heavy-Duty Gilet (J014M) is a step up from a regular gilet — a warm, wadded bodywarmer with a hardwearing canvas outer and a pocket layout built for people who carry a lot on the job.
Made with a 65% polyester and 35% cotton canvas outer (260gsm), 150g polyester padding and a 100% polyester lining, it has a stain-resistant DuPont Teflon coating, a full zip with storm flap, a drop tail, and a large internal A4 document pocket. Stocked in 4 colours from XS to 4XL.
What Sets the J014M Apart
A Hardwearing Canvas Outer
The polyester-cotton canvas is resistant and hard-wearing, and a Teflon coating helps protect the fabric from stains.
Pockets That Carry Real Kit
Concealed zipped vertical front pockets, a multi-compartment right chest pocket and a large internal A4 document pocket hold documents, tools and phones.
Warm Without Restricting Movement
Padding keeps the core warm, while the elasticated armhole gusset, drop tail and elastic flexi notch at the neck add comfort when working.
Washable at 60°C
It can be washed at up to 60°C and tumble dried, which suits heavily-worn workwear.
Ideal For
- Construction and trades
- Warehousing and logistics
- Facilities and maintenance teams
- Site managers and supervisors
- Bulk embroidered workwear orders
