Engineered for Performance

The Russell Europe Heavy-duty Gilet is a tactical piece of outerwear designed for supervisors, logistics managers, and site foremen who require mobility without sacrificing utility. The outer shell is crafted from a tough 260gsm poly-cotton canvas, treated with DuPont™ Teflon® fabric protector. This advanced coating repels water, oil, and dirt, ensuring the gilet withstands the grime of construction sites and loading bays while remaining easy to clean. A defining feature of this garment is its storage capability; it includes a large internal A4 document pocket on the right-hand side, allowing staff to carry clipboards, manifests, or plans without folding them—a game-changer for operational management. The front features a full zip with a storm flap to block wind penetration, and a flexi-notch at the neck to prevent friction against the chin. For companies seeking robust gilets & bodywarmers, this model offers exceptional versatility and weather resistance suitable for 60°C washing, ensuring it meets strict hygiene protocols.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed for active roles, the 014M gilet prioritises freedom of movement. The armholes feature an elasticated gusset, which provides a snug seal against drafts while allowing full rotation of the arms for driving, lifting, or operating machinery. The drop tail offers essential lower back protection, keeping the kidney area warm during bending and stretching tasks. Storage is further enhanced by concealed zipped vertical front pockets with self-fabric lining for hand warmth, and a functional right-chest pocket with multi-compartments for pens, phones, and small tools. A loop hang tag on the inside neck seam ensures easy storage in lockers. The wadded construction provides core warmth without the bulk of a full jacket, making it an ideal layering piece for transition seasons or cold indoor environments. The thoughtful inclusion of a zipped decoration access point at the left chest ensures that branding can be applied cleanly without stitching through the lining.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Site Management: A4 pocket allows for carrying plans and schedules hands-free.
• Transport & Logistics: Armhole gussets allow comfortable driving and lifting.
• Trades & Installation: Teflon coating protects against dust and debris.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

This gilet is specifically designed for customisation, featuring a zipped access point for embroidery frames. This ensures your company logo sits perfectly on the left chest without compromising the inner lining. We recommend you style alongside Fleeces for a versatile, layered uniform system.
