bodywarmer

Torso-only insulation layer

A bodywarmer is a sleeveless padded jacket or vest worn for warmth, typically quilted and insulated, covering the torso while leaving the arms free.

Common in British English, it's the equivalent of what Americans usually call a vest or puffer vest.

Bodywarers are popular for outdoor activities and layering in cool weather, providing core warmth without restricting arm movement.
