The perfect balance for unpredictable spring weather
As we all know, spring in the UK is famously inconsistent. Early starts can feel wintry, midday can bring warmth, and evenings often cool down quickly. A heavy winter coat can quickly become uncomfortable, while a simple hoodie or polo may not provide enough protection from wind or light rain.
This is where gilets and bodywarmers prove invaluable. By insulating the core, they help to regulate body temperature without causing overheating. Keeping the torso warm is key to maintaining comfort in cooler conditions, while the sleeveless design ensures wearers retain full freedom of movement.
For teams working outdoors, whether in construction, logistics, landscaping or facilities management, the ability to adapt quickly is crucial, and a gilet is the perfect solution. Easy to remove without disrupting the rest of the uniform, it can be worn over a polo on milder days or layered on top of a hoodie when temperatures dip. At City Workwear, many of our gilets and bodywarmers are designed specifically with transitional weather in mind, offering handy features like reversible designs, storm flap closures and water-repellent finishes, so your team can stay comfortable in the ever-changeable British weather.
Freedom of movement for active roles
In many industries, unsuitable, restrictive clothing can slow workers down or even pose safety concerns, limiting arm mobility and feeling bulky and awkward during physical tasks.
As more outdoor tasks return to full swing, sleeveless layers like gilets and bodywarmers can address this issue directly. With the arms left uncovered, they allow a full range of motion for lifting, driving, operating tools or handling stock. This makes them particularly popular in sectors like warehousing, delivery, agriculture and trade services. Some of our garments even take it one step further, featuring lightweight designs and stretch fabric to maximise ease of movement. These thoughtful details help to reduce distractions and support productivity throughout the working day.
A professional appearance without compromising comfort
As the days grow lighter, many businesses can expect to see increased customer interaction. From on-site meetings to external visits and retail environments, presentation matters, and you can always rely on these garments to impress. Our gilets and bodywarmers offer a streamlined, modern look that complements a wide range of base layers. With tailored fits and sleek designs, our products include details like contrasting zips, adjustable hems and elastic bindings at the edges, perfect for ensuring a stylish look and a neat fit every time. Best of all, when you choose personalisation, you can add your logo and reinforce your brand identity, creating a sense of professionalism and care that really speaks volumes.
But as you and your team will have experienced firsthand, looks aren’t the only important thing to consider when choosing workwear. When staff feel comfortable, they can concentrate fully on the job at hand, and in fast-paced environments, this makes a big difference. Again, gilets and bodywarmers, with features like breathable fabric, microfleece inner layers, and quilted padding, can keep your workers looking and feeling their best at all times.
So, if you’re looking for garments that work with the season rather than against it, now is the ideal time to explore our full range of workwear gilets and bodywarmers. With great prices, speedy turnaround times, expert personalisation and free delivery on orders over £150, we’ve got everything you need to get your team kitted out for spring.
