Engineered for Performance

The Craghoppers Expert Expolite Thermal Vest is a masterclass in modern workwear engineering, specifically designed to provide high-grade insulation without the bulk associated with traditional padded gilets. At the core of its performance is the ThermoPro synthetic fill, a technologically advanced fibre structure that simulates the heat-retention properties of natural down while remaining effective even in damp conditions. The outer shell is crafted from a recycled polyester mini ripstop fabric, treated with an EcoShield DWR finish to repel light rain and splashes, ensuring your team remains dry during outdoor operations. Weighing just 38gsm, this vest offers an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an indispensable layer for logistics, site management, and field teams who require reliable thermal regulation. For businesses prioritising sustainability alongside performance, the construction utilises recycled materials, aligning your company uniform with eco-conscious procurement goals.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Operational efficiency relies on unhindered movement, and this vest delivers exactly that. The sleeveless design ensures that arms remain completely free for manual handling, driving, or operating machinery, eliminating the restriction often felt with full sleeved jackets. The slim baffle construction prevents the 'Michelin man' effect, allowing the garment to sit comfortably under a waterproof shell or over a fleece without bunching. Practicality is woven into every detail; the vest features four strategically placed pockets, including a specialised RFID-blocking pocket to protect digital assets and security cards from skimming theft. When temperatures rise or the shift moves indoors, the vest packs neatly into its own stow pocket, making it easy for employees to transport and store in a locker or vehicle. It is a versatile solution for variable UK weather conditions.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Logistics and warehousing staff requiring arm mobility.
• Site managers needing a smart, insulating mid-layer.
• Delivery drivers transitioning between vehicle and outdoors.
