Product Overview
The DX4 Hi-Vis 1/4 Zip Hoodie is an expertly engineered mid-layer that bridges the gap between traditional workwear and modern athletic performance. Part of the highly regarded DX4 collection, this hoodie is designed for professionals who require consistent warmth and high visibility during the colder months. The contrast of Orange and Black provides a striking, professional aesthetic that integrates seamlessly with other items in the range, ensuring your team looks unified and remains safe on-site.
Key Features
- 1/4 Zip Neckline: Allows for quick ventilation and temperature regulation, making it easier to adapt to changing physical workloads throughout the day.
- High-Visibility Orange: Ensures you remain conspicuous in low-light environments, fulfilling essential safety requirements for high-risk work zones.
- Bonded Fleece Construction: The dual-layer fabric provides superior thermal retention while maintaining a flexible, non-restrictive fit.
- Integrated Mesh Lining: Enhances internal airflow, preventing the build-up of moisture and ensuring comfort during high-intensity tasks.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the DX4 series. This hoodie is constructed using a substantial polyester interlock shell which has been bonded directly to a polyester fleece. This technical bonding process creates a fabric that is significantly more durable and warmer than a standard single-layer sweatshirt. The exterior is smooth and resistant to snagging, while the interior provides the soft, insulating touch of fleece.
The garment's stretch properties are specifically tuned for active work. Unlike bulky traditional hoodies, the DX482 follows the contours of the body, reducing the risk of snagging on equipment while allowing for a full range of motion. The addition of a breathable mesh lining further assists in moisture management, ensuring that even when the work gets tough, you stay dry.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The DX4 Hi-Vis Hoodie is an excellent canvas for company branding. Given the technical nature of the bonded fabric, both print and embroidery methods are highly effective. We recommend embroidery for primary company logos on the chest, as it provides a resilient, professional finish that stands up to heavy use.
For larger branding or department names, high-quality printing is an ideal choice, offering crisp lines and bold colours that complement the high-visibility fabric. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages the entire customisation process in-house, ensuring your brand is represented with precision and durability.
Use Cases
This hoodie is a versatile choice for various industries, including construction, logistics, and site management. It is particularly effective as a mid-layer during winter or as a standalone outer garment during the transition between seasons. Its modern styling also makes it suitable for supervisors who need to balance safety requirements with a professional, office-to-site appearance.

Practical Advice
As this hoodie features a modern, more tailored fit, we suggest considering your layering needs. If you intend to wear this over multiple layers or prefer a roomier feel, you may wish to size up. The 1/4 zip design is particularly useful when paired with high-wicking base layers, as it allows for immediate heat release during periods of high activity.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility standards and the integrity of the bonded fabric, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. Maintaining these standards ensures the garment remains compliant with safety regulations for as long as possible.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High temperatures or harsh cycles can damage the polyester fibers and weaken the bond between the shell and the fleece lining. Do not use bleach, as this will aggressively degrade the fluorescent pigments and reflective elements of the hoodie.
The garment should be line dried only. Tumble drying should be avoided as the intense heat can cause shrinkage and may distort the shape of the garment. Similarly, do not iron this hoodie; the synthetic materials used are heat-sensitive and could melt or lose their shape under a hot iron. Finally, please note that this garment has a maximum limit of 50 washes to ensure the high-visibility properties remain effective; exceeding this may result in the item no longer meeting safety standards.
