Product Overview
The DX4 1/4 Zip Hoodie is a contemporary solution for tradespeople who demand both flexibility and thermal performance. Constructed from a high-performance blend of polyester, viscose, and elastane, this garment is engineered to provide a 4-way stretch that moves with the wearer, rather than against them. It offers a substantial, heavy-weight feel that provides reliable warmth during the colder months while maintaining a sharp, professional silhouette when worn as part of a complete uniform alongside DX4 work trousers.
Key Features
- 4-Way Stretch Fabric: The inclusion of elastane ensures the material expands and recovers in all directions, providing unrestricted movement for demanding physical tasks.
- 1/4 Zip Design: The functional zip allows for easy temperature regulation and makes the garment simple to pull on or off as site conditions change.
- Polyester-Viscose Blend: This combination offers a durable exterior with a soft, comfortable interior, ensuring the garment remains pleasant to wear throughout a long shift.
- Integrated Hood: Provides additional protection against the elements, helping to maintain core temperature in exposed environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of this hoodie lies in its technical fabric composition. By combining 75% polyester with 16% viscose and 9% elastane, the material achieves a heavy-weight, premium feel that is exceptionally durable. The polyester provides the necessary strength to withstand the rigours of manual labour, while the viscose adds a level of breathability and softness. The high elastane content is particularly beneficial for those working in awkward positions, as it prevents the fabric from pinching or restricting motion. This is a well-engineered garment designed to look as professional at the end of the day as it did at the start.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie is an ideal candidate for customisation, allowing your team to present a unified brand image. For a superior, professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names. The substantial weight of the fabric provides an excellent foundation for dense stitching, ensuring the design remains crisp and secure. If you require larger, high-impact branding across the back, our technical print options provide a vibrant and durable finish. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience to ensure a professional result.
Use Cases
The DX4 1/4 Zip Hoodie is suited for professionals across the construction, engineering, and maintenance sectors. It is particularly effective as a outer layer in transitional weather or as a heavy-weight mid-layer during peak winter. Its sleek design also makes it appropriate for site managers and surveyors who require clothing that is both practical for site visits and smart enough for client meetings.

Practical Advice
This hoodie is designed with a regular fit to allow for comfortable layering. For maximum thermal efficiency, wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer. When selecting your size, consider that the 4-way stretch fabric provides a degree of flexibility, though we recommend choosing your standard size for the intended professional fit.
Caring for your product
To preserve the technical properties and the lifespan of this hoodie, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. A maximum wash temperature of 30°C using a very mild process is required. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the elastane fibres, which will cause the garment to lose its shape and elasticity.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the integrity of the fabric blend and lead to premature wear and discolouration. To maintain the professional finish of your branding and the fabric's structure, the garment should not be tumble dried. Instead, we recommend that it is allowed to drip dry flat.
This garment must not be ironed or dry cleaned. Heat from an iron can melt the synthetic fibres and damage any applied print or embroidery. By following these instructions, you ensure the hoodie continues to perform and look professional for the long term.
