Design & Performance
Constructed from a technical blend of 92% recycled polyester and 8% elastane, this 1/4-zip top offers a superior balance of durability and flexibility. The lightweight fabric has been specifically selected for its breathability and soft-touch finish. The inclusion of elastane provides a subtle stretch that maintains the garment's shape even after repeated wear, while the recycled polyester offers a robust foundation that stands up to the rigours of a busy workday.
The standard fit is designed to be flattering without being restrictive, making it an excellent choice for a variety of builds. The performance fabric is also quick-drying, which is a significant advantage for those working in fast-paced environments or for teams who require a fast turnaround on their workwear laundry cycles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, technical surface of this 1/4-zip top makes it an ideal canvas for customisation. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team leverages decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with the highest level of precision.
For a traditional and professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos and staff names, providing a durable and high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering. If you require larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our print services are the perfect alternative. Printing allows for bold designs that remain lightweight and flexible, complementing the stretch of the performance fabric.
Use Cases
This garment is highly versatile and is particularly well-suited for personal trainers, sports coaches, and staff working in health and wellness sectors. It also serves as an excellent choice for corporate gifting or as part of a modern uniform for technical trades where a traditional polo shirt might be too restrictive. Its professional appearance ensures it is appropriate for client-facing roles while providing the comfort of athletic gear.

Practical Advice
The AWDis Just Cool 1/4-zip features a standard fit. If you intend to wear this as a base layer for high-intensity activity, your usual size should suffice. However, if you plan to layer it over a t-shirt or polo as a mid-layer during cooler months, you may wish to consider the measurements provided in our size range, which spans from XS to 2XL. The raglan sleeves are particularly helpful for those with broader shoulders who often find traditional set-in sleeves restrictive.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical integrity and moisture-wicking properties of the fabric, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of shape and elasticity over time.
You must avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your custom branding. Similarly, this product should not be dry cleaned, as the harsh chemicals used in that process are unsuitable for performance synthetic fabrics.
Do not tumble dry this garment; instead, allow it to air dry. The quick-dry nature of the fabric means it will be ready to wear in a short amount of time without the need for mechanical heat, which can cause shrinkage. Finally, ironing is not required and should be avoided, as direct heat can melt the synthetic fibres and damage any applied print or embroidery.
