Branded gilets

Discover Common Materials and Their Characteristics

• Softshell: A lightweight fabric composed of multiple layers, offering maximum protection without compromising comfort. It's water- and wind-resistant, making it ideal for cold climates (but not extremely low temperatures).
• Polyester: A classic choice for outdoor clothing due to its lightweight and quick-drying properties. Made synthetically, it’s an affordable option.
• Cotton: A popular choice for its comfort and breathability. You won’t find gilets made solely from cotton since it doesn’t provide adequate insulation, but it’s often blended with other materials.
• Nylon: A synthetic material known for its durability and resistance. It’s great for windy and wet climates, offering similar benefits to softshell fabric.
• Down: Used as filling in some gilets, down provides excellent thermal insulation. It's combined with other materials to withstand adverse weather conditions.
• Sorona: A synthetic fibre derived from sustainable resources, known for its elasticity and stain resistance. It’s an eco-friendly option often blended with other materials.

Special Features to Consider When Choosing Your Gilet

• Breathability: Ideal for tasks that require physical exertion, making it easier to stay cool.
• Variety of Pockets: Highly recommended for carrying small tools and other items that need to be easily accessible.
• Hood: A useful feature for dealing with adverse weather, integrated and foldable in some models.
• Padding: Adds comfort and extra insulation, making the gilet more pleasant to wear.

When Should Your Company Provide Promotional Gilets?

Branded gilets can be a practical garment for your employees, but when is it advisable to offer them?

For Outdoor Work in Adverse Weather: Gilets are indispensable when working outdoors in cold temperatures or inclement weather. They keep the team protected while offering a comfortable garment for any task.

For Identifying Staff: Instead of branded polo shirts, you might prefer gilets, which can be paired with a lanyard and badge (available in our range of promotional lanyards).

For Practicality: Gilets make it easy to carry small tools or other items within reach.

As a Reward or Winter Gift: Corporate gilets can also be given as a thoughtful gesture for the team to use in winter or as part of a reward for outstanding performance.
