Product Overview
The Iona Lite Fleece is a substantial and dependable thermal layer, specifically engineered for those who require both warmth and improved visibility in the workplace. As part of our enhanced visibility range, this navy fleece offers a professional alternative to standard workwear, ensuring you remain conspicuous without the need for a full high-visibility garment. It is a robust choice for individuals who demand durability and comfort in demanding environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavyweight fleece serves as an excellent canvas for your corporate identity. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. The substantial weight of the polyester fabric provides a stable base for intricate logos and names, creating a high-quality, textured appearance that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
If your requirements include larger or more vibrant graphics, our high-definition printing service is equally effective. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility by our specialist team, drawing on expertise we have been refining since 1976 to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Key Features
- Anti-Pill Finish: The fleece fabric is treated to resist the formation of bobbles, ensuring your team maintains a professional appearance and the garment remains smooth to the touch over time.
- Breathable Mesh Lining: The body of the garment is lined with a polyester mesh that facilitates ventilation, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent moisture build-up during physical activity.
- Heavyweight Thermal Protection: Designed to offer maximum warmth, the thick fleece construction acts as an effective thermal barrier against cold air.
- Taffeta-Lined Sleeves: The sleeves are lined with smooth taffeta, allowing the garment to slide easily over base layers without catching or restricting movement.
Design & Performance
Manufactured from 100% polyester, this fleece is built for longevity. The anti-pill finish is not just an aesthetic choice; it is a functional requirement that prevents the fabric from thinning or becoming a lint-magnet, which is essential for maintaining a clean image in front of clients. The garment is thoughtfully designed with a dual-lining system: the mesh body lining focuses on breathability, while the taffeta sleeve lining focuses on the practicalities of dressing for the job.
The performance of this fleece is further enhanced by its 'Enhanced Visibility' status. It provides an extra layer of safety in low-light conditions, making it a well-engineered solution for workers who move between indoor and outdoor environments frequently.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for warehouse operatives, delivery drivers, and site supervisors who need to stay warm while remaining visible. It is perfect for those working in environments where safety is paramount but a full hi-vis waistcoat or jacket might be unnecessary or cumbersome.

Practical Advice
This is a heavyweight garment with a generous fit, making it ideal for layering over a polo shirt or base layer. If you work in particularly cold conditions, it fits comfortably beneath a larger waterproof outer shell without feeling overly bulky, thanks to the smooth taffeta sleeve lining which prevents bunching.
Caring for your product
To preserve the integrity of the anti-pill finish and the thermal properties of the fleece, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C using a mild process. Excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibres, leading to a loss of softness and insulation.
Do not use bleach, as this will weaken the polyester structure and cause the navy colour to fade. The garment should not be tumble dried; instead, we recommend drip line drying. This method prevents heat-induced shrinkage and helps the fleece retain its original shape.
Ironing is not permitted, as the high heat from an iron can melt the fleece surface. Similarly, do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals involved can strip the fabric of its protective finishes. Please note that to maintain the safety standards of the enhanced visibility elements, the garment should not exceed 25 washes.
