Whatever the time of the year the bodywarmer or gilet is a practical garment for the workplace. Built to maintain your core body heat when temperatures begin to drop while allowing maximum arm movement, it is ideal for completing jobs outdoors when it is cool but the prevailing conditions do not require a full jacket. It can also be utilised as an additional layer underneath a coat or jacket in the winter months.

The bodywarmer is available in a great choice of styles and brands and it is worth the time to consider factors such as weight, filler, colour and style so that you choose the right garment for your employees and their working environment. For example if you are going to be spending longer outdoors you might want to consider a garment that is slightly heavier to provide extra warmth.

You might want to allow for personalization of the garment to reflect your business or organisation, so you may have to allow for the fact that the garment has to be a particular colour. If you need to add a logo as part of your business uniform or corporate identity we can supply a finished product ready for wear using our in-house personalisation service. This offers you the opportunity to protect your workforce against the cold without sacrificing that professional look that you want your business to have all year round.

One example of what is available is the Kariban Men’s Quilted Full Zip Bodywarmer. This is manufactured using a polyester microfibre with an additional PVC coating, with 100% polyester lining and padding with an overall weight of 510g this provides an excellent heat to weight ratio. The provision of four outer pockets, 2 bottom pockets with flap and tear release fastening, one chest pocket with flap and telephone access and one chest zipped pocket, allows enough storage for your workday requirements. It even has the addition of a one zipped inner pocket for those important items. It also features a quilted collar for additional warmth and comfort and a drawcord on the bottom hem to allow for a more customised fit.
