Custom Padded Squad Gilets
ZipaSports manufactures custom padded squad gilets in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Ordered by squads who need warmth at cold venues without covering the arms during warm-up and shadow work.
The gilet uses a 190T PU-coated polyester shell quilted over polyester wadding, lined in brushed tricot, with a two-way front zip so it opens from the hem when seated. Leaving the arms free means competitors can keep moving and stretching while the core stays warm between rounds. Armholes are bound and bar-tacked, and back panels take embroidered names or heat-applied squad artwork.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Padded Squad Gilets — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom padded squad gilets?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are padded squad gilets made from?
190T PU-coated polyester shell, quilted wadding, brushed tricot lining. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Why a gilet rather than a full jacket?
It keeps the core warm while leaving the arms completely free, so competitors can shadow spar and stretch without taking it off. Squads usually carry both, with the jacket for waiting and the gilet for moving.
Does it fit over a gi?
Yes. The body is cut with enough room across the chest and shoulder to sit over a gi and obi without pulling the zip out of line.
How is a quilted gilet cleaned?
Cold gentle wash and dry flat or on a line. Never iron the quilted panels, as heat flattens the wadding permanently and marks the coated shell.
How much do custom padded squad gilets cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
