Product Overview
The WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Fleece represents a thoughtful intersection of environmental responsibility and workplace safety. This medium-weight garment is designed for those who require dependable warmth and high visibility without the environmental impact associated with virgin plastics. Constructed from Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified materials, it serves as a robust layer for outdoor professionals working in demanding, cooler environments where conspicuousness is paramount.
Key Features
- Sustainability at its core: The shell is crafted from 100% GRS recycled polyester, providing a soft-to-the-touch feel while significantly reducing waste.
- Enhanced mobility: Strategic contrast panels made from Kingsmill Polyester Stretch Eco (93% recycled polyester, 7% elastane) allow for a greater range of movement during physical tasks.
- High-visibility protection: Part of our specialised High Visibility range, the orange and black colourway ensures you remain visible in low-light and hazardous conditions.
- Thermal insulation: The fleece construction effectively traps air to provide substantial warmth as temperatures drop, without the bulk of a heavy coat.
Design & Performance
This fleece is engineered for longevity and professional comfort. The main body fabric is a medium-weight recycled polyester that provides an optimal balance between thermal efficiency and breathability. Unlike traditional heavy-duty fleeces that can feel restrictive during active duty, the inclusion of a stretch-rich contrast fabric ensures that the garment moves with the wearer, a feature essential for those in the trades.
The performance of this garment is centred on its versatility. It functions effectively as a standalone outer layer in crisp, dry weather or as a substantial mid-layer when paired with a waterproof shell. The choice of recycled materials does not compromise the garment's durability; it is built to withstand the daily rigours of industrial and site-based environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Fleece is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. For a professional and durable branding solution, we recommend embroidery. It provides a raised, high-quality finish for company logos and individual names that maintains its appearance through frequent laundering. If you require larger, more striking designs on the fleece, our high-quality printing process is the preferred choice for maximum impact.

It is particularly well-suited for site supervisors, engineers, and outdoor operatives who need to maintain a professional appearance while staying warm and visible during the autumn and winter months.

Practical Advice
As a medium-weight fleece, this item works best when integrated into a layering system. For maximum thermal efficiency, wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer. When selecting your size, consider that the stretch panels provide flexibility, but the 4XL fit is designed to be generous enough to accommodate under-layers comfortably without restricting blood flow or movement.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the high-visibility elements and the recycled fibres requires specific care. We recommend a mild process wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Using higher temperatures can degrade the recycled polyester fibres and affect the garment's shape and thermal properties over time.
To preserve the luminosity of the reflective elements and the vibrant orange colour, do not use bleach. Bleaching agents will cause the high-visibility properties to fail, compromising your safety on site. Similarly, the garment should be drip line dried rather than tumble dried, as excessive heat can damage the elastane in the stretch panels and lead to shrinkage.
Do not iron this garment. The synthetic nature of the recycled polyester means it is naturally resistant to wrinkling, and direct heat from an iron could melt the fibres or damage the high-visibility finish. Finally, please note that the garment is rated for a maximum of 25 washes; exceeding this can lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of the high-visibility components, meaning the garment may no longer meet its original safety specifications.
