Product Overview
The Kariban Zip-through microfleece jacket (KB903) is a robust and dependable layer designed for those who require substantial warmth without sacrificing professional appearance. Classified as a premier choice in the heavyweight category, this jacket is constructed from dense polyester microfleece that provides excellent thermal insulation. The inclusion of an anti-pill finish ensures the garment maintains its smooth texture and professional aesthetic even after extensive use in demanding work environments.
Key Features
- Anti-pill finish microfleece: This treatment prevents the fabric from forming small bobbles, ensuring the jacket looks newer for longer and provides a consistent surface for branding.
- Full-front zip closure: Offers complete versatility in temperature regulation and allows for easy removal over other workwear layers.
- Two front zipped pockets: Provides secure storage for essential tools or personal items, preventing loss during active movement.
- Ethical certification: Both BSCI and SEDEX certifications provide peace of mind that your workwear is produced under fair and ethical working conditions.
Design & Performance
Engineered for the rigours of daily professional use, the 100% polyester microfleece fabric is specifically chosen for its heavyweight properties. This dense construction provides a significant barrier against the cold while remaining breathable enough for active tasks. The anti-pill finish is not merely a cosmetic feature; it preserves the structural integrity of the fleece fibres, preventing the thinning that often occurs with lower-quality alternatives.
The cut is designed for a male fit, providing ample room for movement across the shoulders and chest. The inclusion of secure zipped pockets adds a level of practicality necessary for tradespeople who need to keep equipment safe while on the move. Every seam and zip is built to withstand the repetitive stress of a busy working day.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
For the Kariban microfleece, we recommend embroidery as the exclusive method of customisation. The high-pile texture of heavyweight fleece is unsuitable for traditional printing methods, which can fail to adhere correctly or crack over time as the fabric moves. Embroidery, however, anchors your logo deep into the fibres, creating a durable and high-definition finish that can withstand the same heavy use as the jacket itself.
Our in-house embroidery team, based in Telford, has been refining this craft since 1976. We utilise industrial-grade threads to ensure your company branding remains vibrant and intact, providing a level of prestige that printed alternatives simply cannot match.
Use Cases
This heavyweight fleece is ideal for professionals working in unheated warehouses, outdoor construction sites, or as a smart outer layer for delivery and logistics personnel. Its clean lines and premium finish also make it a suitable choice for site managers and supervisors who require a professional appearance while remaining protected from the elements.

Practical Advice
The KB903 is a heavyweight garment designed with a standard fit. If you intend to wear this over multiple thick layers, such as a sweatshirt or thermal base, you may wish to consider the upper end of your size range. The full-zip design makes it an excellent choice for layering, allowing for quick adaptation as weather conditions change throughout the day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and appearance of your microfleece, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Lower temperatures help preserve the polyester fibres and the integrity of the anti-pill finish, ensuring the jacket remains soft and functional.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Harsh chemical bleaches will degrade the synthetic fibres and can cause significant discolouration to both the fabric and your embroidered logo.
Avoid ironing the jacket entirely. As a 100% polyester garment, direct heat from an iron can melt the fibres, causing permanent damage to the texture and potentially ruining the embroidery. The fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant if hung correctly after washing.
Do not tumble dry. High heat in a dryer can lead to shrinkage and may cause the fleece to lose its insulating loft. We recommend air-drying the jacket to ensure it retains its shape and longevity for years to come.
