What Are the Benefits of Wearing a Bodywarmer or Gilet?
A bodywarmer or a gilet offers a complimentary layer that can be worn over almost any other garment, be it a summer t-shirt or a bulky winter hoodie. Perfect for the winter months, a bodywarmer uses densely packed insulation panels to trap heat and prevent valuable warmth exiting the body.
Mix and Match This Winter
As we say, a bodywarmer can we worn over almost any garment. Whether it's -2° in thick jacket and bobble hat weather or you're looking to make that short to long sleeve transition between summer and autumn a little bit easier, a bodywarmer is versatile enough to cover all the bases.
Fashionable and Contemporary Design
For years, workwear has been unfashionable, clunky, baggy and generally not appealing on the eye. TuffStuff are committed to designing workwear that doesn't look out of place in day to day life, allowing you to seamlessly transition between work and play after five.
What Is ThermoFort Lining?
ThermoFort lining packs out this piece, creating an outer shell that traps heat and naturally raises your body temperature during the harsh winter months. Each panel contains a dense mesh of this thermal material which forms an evenly distributed padded layer of insulation.
Brilliant Water Resistance
Thanks to this softshell outer, rain, water and moisture just run off the Howden 279 Hooded Bodywarmer. This slimline and "close" fit traps a greater level of heat than a larger, baggier garment, leaving you feeling snug and warm no matter what the temperature gets to.
A gilet has the added benefit of covering the centre of the torso, meaning your chest and vital organs are kept warm. This has untold benefits for the entire body, especially when every little bit of heat matters during the bitter winter months.
Thermal Heat Retention
Whether you work outside or you're in a freezing cold warehouse, heat retention is vital during the winter. Keeping your chest and torso warm ensures the rest of your body is better regulated due to their proximity to the central organs.
The TuffStuff 279 ThermoFort Water Resistant Gilet Bodywarmer uses Thermofort insulation padding to keep you warm, whatever the weather.
