Product Overview
The AWDis Ecologie Okavango regen zoodie is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, designed for those who prioritise environmental responsibility alongside comfort. This heavyweight hooded sweatshirt is constructed from a blend of 70% regenerated cotton and 30% recycled polyester, demonstrating that high-quality workwear can be achieved through sustainable sourcing. The garment features a peached outer face for a smooth, premium feel and a brushed inner surface that provides essential warmth for outdoor or warehouse environments.
Key Features

- Brushed Inner and Peached Outer: The dual-finish fabric ensures a luxuriously soft feel against the skin and a professional, matte appearance on the exterior.

- Contrast Ribbed Details: The contrast colour on the cuffs and hem provides a refined aesthetic that elevates the garment beyond a standard hoodie.
- Kangaroo Pocket: Offers a practical solution for hand-warming or storing essential items during the working day.
Design & Performance
Engineering a garment from regenerated materials requires a precise balance of fibres. The Okavango zoodie utilizes a substantial, heavyweight fabric that offers excellent insulation properties. The set-in sleeves allow for a more structured fit around the shoulders, which is preferable for a professional silhouette compared to more casual raglan styles. The peached finish on the outer face is not merely for comfort; it provides a smoother surface for customisation, ensuring that logos and designs sit flat and clear against the fabric.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The AWDis Ecologie Okavango is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing for versatile branding options. Embroidery is particularly effective on this heavyweight fabric, providing a professional and durable finish for company logos or staff names that can withstand regular laundering. For larger, more vibrant promotional graphics, the peached outer surface accepts print remarkably well, ensuring crisp edges and bold colours. Our in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages the entire customisation process to ensure your branding meets our rigorous standards.
Use Cases
This zoodie is well-suited for a variety of sectors, particularly those with a focus on sustainability or modern corporate identity. It is an excellent choice for site managers, delivery personnel, or staff in creative industries who require a warm, professional-looking layer. Its Peta-Approved Vegan and recycled certifications also make it the perfect choice for organisations looking to align their uniform choices with their corporate social responsibility goals.

Practical Advice
This zoodie is a heavyweight garment designed for a standard unisex fit. When ordering for a team, we recommend checking the sizing guide carefully, as the 'to fit' measurements range from 32 inches (XS) to 52 inches (2XL). The tagless design is also beneficial for those with sensitive skin or for businesses looking to add their own internal branding without the interference of original manufacturer labels.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your zoodie is essential for long-term use. We recommend a machine wash at 30°C. This lower temperature helps to preserve the integrity of the regenerated cotton fibres and ensures that any custom print or embroidery remains vibrant for as long as possible.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Chlorine and other bleaching agents will break down the recycled polyester and cotton blend, leading to a loss of fabric strength and significant colour fading.
If ironing is required, please use a low heat setting. High temperatures can damage the peached surface of the fabric and potentially melt or distort any printed customisation applied to the garment.
Do not tumble dry or dry clean this zoodie. Air drying is the most effective way to prevent shrinkage and maintain the original shape of the ribbed cuffs and hem, ensuring the garment continues to fit correctly over time.
