Product Overview
The Pro 1/4-zip microfleece from ProRTX is a refined addition to any professional uniform, designed to offer a clean silhouette without compromising on warmth. This lightweight layering piece bridges the gap between a standard sweatshirt and a heavy jacket, providing necessary insulation for those who remain active throughout the working day. With its standard fit and thoughtful construction, it provides a professional appearance that stands up to the rigours of daily wear while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable in varying temperatures.
Key Features
- Standard Fit: Provides a universal and comfortable shape that accommodates various body types across your workforce.
- 1/4-Zip Neck: Allows for easy temperature regulation and quick removal, making it highly adaptable for indoor and outdoor transitions.
- Side Panel Inserts: These inserts are specifically designed to provide a more tailored fit and structure, preventing the fleece from looking boxy.
- Bound Cuff and Hem: Ensures the garment retains its shape over time and prevents fraying at the edges.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Offers reinforced durability at the seams, ensuring the garment can withstand the physical demands of active work.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester microfleece, this garment is designed for longevity and ease of movement. The fabric choice ensures the fleece remains lightweight and easy to wear as a mid-layer, yet provides enough insulation to trap heat effectively. The side panel inserts are a critical design element, offering a more contoured fit than standard fleeces, which enhances the professional aesthetic for client-facing roles. The twin-needle stitching throughout provides peace of mind that the garment will not fail at the seams under stress.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
This microfleece is offered exclusively for embroidery. Due to the textured "pile" of the microfleece fabric, traditional printing methods cannot provide a flat or durable enough surface for a high-quality finish. Embroidery, however, weaves your branding directly into the fibres of the garment, resulting in a premium, textured logo that will not peel or fade.
Our in-house embroidery team, operating from our Telford base since 1976, uses high-precision machinery to ensure every stitch is perfectly placed. This method is particularly suited to knitwear and fleeces, providing a sophisticated look that reflects the quality of your business.
Use Cases
The Pro 1/4-zip microfleece is an excellent choice for site managers, delivery drivers, and technical engineers who require a layer that is warm but not restrictive. Its smart appearance also makes it suitable for corporate events or as part of a modern office uniform for those working in cooler environments like warehouses or trade counters.

Practical Advice
This fleece features a standard fit, but for those who intend to wear multiple thick layers underneath, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit. Available in sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, it is a versatile choice for outfitting an entire team. It pairs exceptionally well with a professional polo shirt for a complete branded look.
Caring for your product
To maintain the soft texture and professional appearance of your microfleece, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and sweat without damaging the synthetic polyester fibres or the integrity of your embroidered logo.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs, as these harsh chemicals will strip the colour from the fabric and weaken the embroidery threads. When drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer to prevent any heat-related shrinkage or damage to the pile.
If ironing is required, use a low temperature setting; microfleece is heat-sensitive and can melt if exposed to high temperatures. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used in the process can degrade the soft finish of the polyester.
