Engineered for Performance

The Navigate 2-Layer Softshell Bodywarmer is a heavyweight contender in the corporate workwear market, designed to offer substantial protection and warmth. At 270gsm, this is a dense, durable garment that acts as a formidable shield against the British climate. The 2-layer construction features a protective softshell outer face that deflects wind and repels light rain, ensuring staff stay dry during showers or whilst working in exposed, draughty areas. Bonded to this outer shell is a warm fleece lining, which provides immediate thermal retention and a soft sensation against the body or base layer. This dual-action fabric technology eliminates the need for multiple bulky layers, streamlining the uniform without sacrificing warmth. The polyester construction ensures high tensile strength, meaning the gilet resists tearing and abrasion in tough environments like construction sites, haulage yards, and industrial plants. It is a reliable, hard-wearing piece of kit that integrates seamlessly with polo shirts for a smart, functional look.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Operational comfort is achieved through the Navigate's thoughtful design and material choice. Although it is a 100% polyester garment, the fabric is engineered to provide mechanical stretch, allowing for necessary agility when reaching overhead or lifting goods. The fleece backing plays a crucial role in comfort, wicking moisture away from the skin to prevent the 'chill' that occurs when sweat cools down. The sleeveless design is specifically favoured by drivers and machine operators who require complete arm freedom that a full jacket might impede. With a wide range of 7 colours available, this bodywarmer is particularly useful for departmental colour-coding within large organisations, aiding in easy identification of staff roles on busy sites. The cut is generous enough to layer over thick jumpers in winter, yet structured enough to look smart over a shirt in spring. It is a low-maintenance, high-value addition to any staff uniform program.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Warehouse operatives needing warmth in large, open spaces.
• Delivery drivers requiring durability and comfort behind the wheel.
• Site supervisors needing a smart, branded visibility layer.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The smooth woven surface of the softshell is the industry standard for high-quality branding. It supports detailed embroidery and crisp vinyl printing without the texture issues found in fleece. You can complete the uniform with Trousers for a cohesive, professional appearance.
