Buying guide

Core warmth

A gilet keeps your core warm while your arms move freely.

Padded or fleece

Padded gilets are warmer; fleece and softshell gilets are lighter.

Layering

Wear over a shirt or under a jacket.

Branding

Frequently asked questions

Are gilets warm?

A padded gilet is surprisingly warm because it keeps your core warm.

Are body warmers waterproof?

Most are water-resistant rather than waterproof.

Can gilets be embroidered?

Yes. A left-chest logo is the most popular choice, and the back panel suits a larger print or embroidery.

Plain items usually arrive in 2–4 working days to Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Branded items take 7–10 working days. Every order also comes with 28-Day Returns.

Can you add our logo?

Yes. An uploaded logo has a one-off £9.99 setup fee, then £3.99 per position per garment. A text logo has no setup fee and is £3.99 per position per garment.
