Gilets & Body Warmers for Work: Our Top Picks for 2026

May 11, 2026 · By Andy · Workwear Guides

Last reviewed: 17 August 2026 · Written and reviewed by the Xcel Print & Promotions team

We’ve been supplying gilets and body warmers to UK businesses for over 20 years. That’s long enough to know what holds up and what doesn’t. And they’re not all made equal. Some look brilliant on a website then fall apart after a few washes. Others last for years but feel like cardboard on your back. The ones below sit right in the middle.

Picking the Right Gilets & Body Warmers for Your Team

Making Your Budget Work Harder

Good gilets and body warmers needn’t cost the earth. The ones on this list earn their keep. They last longer, they look better, and they hold their branding, so you’re not replacing them (or re-embroidering them) every few months. Ordering for a bigger team? We do bulk pricing too.

Customisation: What Works Best

We offer embroidery and printing on all of them. Rough rule: embroidery for small logos and a smart, professional feel. Printing for bigger designs or busy artwork. Not sure which way to go? Send us your logo and we’ll tell you.

Sizes and Fit

Most of the range runs XS through to 5XL, with men’s, women’s and unisex fits. If you’re kitting out a team, grab a few samples first and check the fit before you commit. We’re happy to sort that out.

Our Top Picks for 2026

No particular order here. They’re all solid, it just depends what you need:

1. Regatta RG185 Stellar Multi Zip Ripstop Bodywarmer (from £37.49)

The RG185 just works. Nothing flashy about it. Just a well-made body warmer your team will actually reach for. We’ve had firms start with 5 of these and come back for 50.

2. hoodies/">James Harvest Ashland U-Neck Knit Sweat (from £46.61)

There’s a reason this is one of our top sellers. The fabric’s good, the sizing stays consistent across the range, and it embroiders beautifully. Your logo looks sharp on day one and still looks sharp after the hundredth wash.

3. 2786 TS004 Solitude Hooded Bodywarmer (from £41.99)

This keeps landing in orders, and it’s easy to see why. From £41.99, it’s built for proper daily wear, not the sort that gives up after a few washes. The fabric weight is bang on for embroidery, and the colour range means you’ll find something to match your brand.

4. James Harvest HAR2112513 Ashland Turtle Neck Knit (from £52.49)

Another one that keeps coming back round. From £52.49, it’s made for everyday use and holds up to it. The fabric weight suits embroidery nicely, and there’s enough colour choice to fit most brands.

Why Getting Your Gilets & Body Warmers Right Actually Matters

Durability is the big one. Cheap body warmers save you a few quid up front. But when you’re buying replacements every couple of months and paying to re-embroider each time, that saving’s gone in no time. The options we’ve picked all take regular washing and daily wear in their stride.

Your team’s kit speaks for your business before anyone opens their mouth. Well-branded, decent-quality workwear tells a customer you take pride in the job. Cheap, badly fitting gear says the opposite. Small spend, big return.

With 38+ styles in the range, you’ve got plenty to choose from. We work with Portwest, Uneek, Fruit of the Loom and Russell, all tried and tested by thousands of UK businesses. And there’s no minimum order, so you can start small and build up.

Ready to Get Started?

We’ve been helping UK businesses with branded gilets and body warmers for over two decades. Need 5 or 500? We’ll sort you out with quality gear, proper branding and delivery inside 5-7 working days. Have a browse through the full range or drop us a line if you want a steer.

That’s exactly what we’re here for. Tell us your industry, team size and budget, and we’ll point you at the best options. No pressure, no hard sell. Just honest advice.

Can I get Gilets & Body Warmers embroidered with my logo?

Course you can, it’s what we do. Every product in the range can be embroidered or printed with your company logo. We send a free proof before we start, and there’s no minimum order.

Standard turnaround for embroidered or printed body warmers is 5-7 working days. If you’re up against it, tell us when you get in touch and we’ll often manage quicker.

Do you supply women’s fit Gilets & Body Warmers?

We do. Most ranges cover women’s, men’s and unisex. And the women’s cuts are properly tailored, not just shrunk-down men’s versions. They fit right and look professional.
