Product Overview
The Henbury HB862 quarter-zip is a meticulously engineered sweatshirt designed for those who require both professional presentation and active performance. Constructed from a medium-weight polyester fabric, it features a technical wicking finish that actively draws moisture away from the body. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where physical activity is frequent, ensuring you remain comfortable and focused throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Technical Wicking Finish: This specialist treatment manages moisture levels, allowing the fabric to dry quickly and keeping the wearer fresh during intensive tasks.
- Needle-Out Knit with Fleece Inner: The external face offers a sophisticated textured appearance, while the brushed fleece interior provides essential warmth and a soft touch against the skin.
- Raglan Sleeves: The sleeve construction eliminates shoulder seams, providing an increased range of movement and preventing irritation when layering or carrying equipment.
- Discreet Side Pockets: Equipped with hidden zippers, these pockets allow for the secure storage of personal items without disrupting the clean lines of the garment's silhouette.
- Tear-out Label: A practical feature for those who find traditional neck labels bothersome or for businesses looking to add their own internal branding.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of this sweatshirt's design. The 100% polyester composition is selected for its durability and resistance to shrinking or stretching, which is vital for workwear that undergoes frequent laundering. The needle-out face provides a modern, technical aesthetic that elevates the garment beyond a standard sweatshirt, making it suitable for client-facing roles. The sports-style zip with a self-coloured puller ensures a cohesive, professional look while allowing for easy temperature regulation.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Henbury HB862 is a versatile canvas for your company branding. Given the smooth, needle-out face of the fabric, it is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for those seeking a traditional, high-end professional finish for breast logos or staff names, as the dense knit supports the stitching excellently.
For larger, more impactful branding—such as across the back—printing provides a bold and clear finish. At MyWorkwear, our expert team in Telford has been handling garment customisation since 1976. We manage the entire process in-house to ensure that your branding is applied with technical precision, maintaining the integrity of the wicking fabric.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideally suited for professionals in the sports and wellness industries, as well as active tradespeople who require a smart alternative to a standard hoodie. It also serves as an excellent mid-layer for delivery drivers or facility management teams who transition frequently between indoor and outdoor environments.

Practical Advice
The HB862 features a standard fit across a wide size range from XS to 2XL. We recommend checking the sizing guide to ensure the best fit, particularly if you intend to wear it over thicker base layers. Because of the raglan sleeves, it offers a more forgiving fit across the shoulders compared to traditional set-in sleeves.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. This temperature is sufficient to remove dirt and sweat without damaging the technical polyester fibres or the wicking finish.
Always wash dark colours separately and turn the garment inside out before laundering. This simple step protects the face of the fabric and any custom embroidery or print from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause discolouration.
For drying, use a low tumble dry setting or air dry away from direct heat sources. Excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibres and lead to shrinkage. If ironing is required, use a cool iron on the reverse side only, ensuring you do not iron directly over any custom branding.
