Product Overview
The ProRTX Pro fleece gilet represents a practical solution for professionals who require warmth without the bulk of a full jacket.

Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this dense fleece fabric is engineered to trap heat effectively while remaining breathable. The choice of polyester ensures the garment is hard-wearing and resistant to the stretching or sagging often found in lighter alternatives. The twin-needle stitching at stress points is a mark of quality construction, designed specifically for the workwear market where longevity is paramount. Despite its robust nature, the fabric remains soft to the touch, providing comfort throughout a long shift.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the textured, high-pile nature of fleece fabric, this garment is offered exclusively with embroidery. Traditional print methods do not adhere well to fleece and the detail can be lost or distorted within the fibres. Embroidery, however, creates a premium, three-dimensional finish that sits perfectly on the fabric. Our in-house embroidery team, operating since 1976, uses high-quality threads and precise digitisation to ensure your brand is represented with the highest level of detail and durability.
Use Cases
This gilet is ideal for tradespeople working in unheated environments, hospitality staff needing a smart-casual outer layer, or warehouse personnel who move frequently between different temperature zones. Its professional aesthetic also makes it suitable for site visits, delivery drivers, and client-facing roles where a uniform appearance is required.

Practical Advice
The Pro fleece gilet is designed with a standard fit. If you intend to wear it over a heavy sweatshirt or hoodie, the sizing is generous enough to accommodate this. For those wearing it over a thin polo shirt or base layer, the fit is true to size across the range from Small to 3XL. Always check the chest measurements provided to ensure the best fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your fleece, we recommend a wash at 60°C or below. This temperature is effective for removing work-related grime while protecting the polyester fibres and the integrity of the embroidered logo.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and the embroidery threads. If you choose to tumble dry, please use a low temperature setting; excessive heat can cause the fleece to 'pill' or lose its soft texture.
Ironing should only be performed at a low temperature to avoid melting the synthetic fibres. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used in the process can damage the fabric's insulating properties and the backing used in the embroidery process.
