Product Overview
The AWDis Just Cool JC030 Cool Flex long half-zip top is a technical garment designed to offer a balance of protection and performance. Constructed as a medium-weight layer, it serves effectively as either a substantial base layer or a streamlined mid-layer for active environments. The inclusion of elastane within the fabric blend ensures that the garment adapts to the movement of the wearer, providing a secure yet flexible fit that is essential for demanding physical tasks.
Key Features
- AWDis Cool Flex Blended Fabric: A specialised material that incorporates elastane to provide superior stretch and recovery, maintaining the garment's shape over time.

- Reflective Details: Integrated elements that enhance the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions, a practical safety feature for outdoor work.

- Half-Zip with Stand-Up Collar: Provides versatile ventilation options, allowing the wearer to regulate their temperature as activity levels fluctuate.
- Chin Guard: A protective fabric flap that prevents the zip from causing irritation against the skin.
- Tear-Out Label: Allows for seamless rebranding, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to create their own bespoke uniform line.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the core of the JC030's design. The fabric composition of 87% polyester and 13% elastane creates a robust textile that is both durable and incredibly flexible. This medium-weight material provides enough substance to offer protection against the elements while remaining breathable enough for high-intensity use. The active fit is complemented by the raglan sleeves, which are particularly beneficial for trades or sports that require frequent overhead movement. This is not merely a standard top; it is a well-engineered piece of apparel designed to withstand the rigours of a busy working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for a high degree of customisation. Embroidery is the preferred choice for those seeking a traditional, professional appearance, particularly for chest logos or individual names. The tight knit of the Cool Flex fabric provides a stable base for high-quality stitching. For larger, more vibrant branding, printing offers a crisp and bold finish that is highly visible. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility, where our team has been perfecting the art of workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
The Cool Flex half-zip is an excellent choice for a wide variety of sectors. It is particularly well-suited for fitness professionals, outdoor event staff, and logistics personnel who require clothing that moves with them. Its professional silhouette also makes it appropriate for site supervisors and technicians who need to balance a smart appearance with the practical requirements of an active role.

Practical Advice
As this garment features an active fit, it is designed to be worn close to the body. If your team prefers a more relaxed or traditional fit, we recommend considering one size larger than their usual measurement. The sizing ranges from Small (37/39") up to 2XL (45/48"), providing options for a broad range of body types.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment maintains its performance characteristics and professional appearance, it is vital to adhere to the following care instructions. Proper maintenance will prevent the degradation of the technical fibres and protect your custom branding.
We recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the elastane components, leading to a loss of elasticity and causing the garment to lose its shape prematurely.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the fabric's integrity and cause permanent discolouration. This top must not be tumble dried; the intense heat of a dryer can melt synthetic fibres and damage any applied prints or embroidery.
Ironing is strictly prohibited and unnecessary, as the fabric is designed to be wrinkle-resistant. Exposure to a hot iron will likely damage the polyester blend. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals used in the process are too harsh for this technical fabric.
