Product Overview
The Anti-Static ESD Zip Sweatshirt is a sophisticated addition to any technical workwear wardrobe, specifically engineered for environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a risk to sensitive components. Unlike standard cotton layers, this sweatshirt incorporates specialised conductive fibres into its construction to ensure safety and compliance. The inclusion of a full-length front zip provides a practical solution for workers who need to frequently transition between different safety zones or regulate their temperature throughout a busy shift.
Key Features
- High Cotton Content: Comprising 96% cotton, the fabric ensures natural breathability and all-day comfort, which is essential for focused work in technical environments.
- Integrated Carbon Fibre: The 4% carbon fibre content provides the necessary anti-static properties by creating a conductive grid that safely dissipates static electricity.
- Full Front Zip: This design choice allows for effortless donning and removal, saving time in fast-paced production settings.
- Modern Tailored Fit: The contemporary cut ensures a professional silhouette that moves with the wearer without unnecessary bulk.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is crafted from a comfortable, medium-weight fabric that balances warmth with technical functionality. The blend of high-quality cotton and carbon fibre is woven to maintain its integrity over time, ensuring that the anti-static properties remain effective throughout the garment's lifespan. The black finish provides a neutral, professional base that resists visible marking, while the ribbed cuffs and hem help to retain shape and prevent the garment from interfering with delicate manual tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Anti-Static ESD Zip Sweatshirt is an excellent candidate for overbranding. For a truly professional appearance, our in-house embroidery service can apply your company logo or staff names with precision, ensuring a durable finish that stands up to industrial laundering. Alternatively, for larger, high-impact branding across the back, our print services offer a bold and clear result. All customisation is managed by our expert team in Telford, who have been refining these processes since 1976 to ensure your branding never compromises the garment's technical performance.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, laboratory settings, or any environment where static-sensitive equipment is handled. It is equally suited for supervisors and technicians who require a smart, unified look while maintaining strict safety standards on the production floor.

Practical Advice
Given the modern cut of this sweatshirt, it provides a closer fit than traditional industrial garments. If you intend to wear this as a primary outer layer over multiple garments, you may wish to consider your layering requirements when selecting a size. It performs best when worn over other anti-static base layers to maintain a complete ESD-safe circuit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the specialised anti-static properties of the carbon fibres, it is important to follow careful laundering procedures. We recommend a gentle wash to ensure the conductive grid within the fabric remains unbroken and effective.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the conductive fibres and significantly reduce the garment's ability to dissipate static electricity. Proper care ensures the sweatshirt continues to protect your sensitive electronic environment for the long term.
