Design & Performance
Crafted from 100% polyester anti-pill Symmetry fleece, this garment is designed to resist the "bobbling" often associated with lower-quality fleeces, keeping your team looking professional for longer. The fabric is specifically engineered to provide thermal insulation while remaining breathable, making it an excellent choice for active roles. The inclusion of ID Reflection technology isn't just a safety feature; it's a design innovation that enhances the garment's functionality by communicating the wearer's orientation at a glance.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
This fleece is exclusively suitable for embroidery. The dense, textured surface of Symmetry fleece does not provide the flat, smooth base required for high-quality heat transfers or screen printing, which can peel or crack on pile fabrics. Embroidery, however, anchors directly into the fabric fibres, creating a durable and premium finish. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, uses state-of-the-art machinery to ensure your logo is rendered with precision, providing a professional look that lasts as long as the garment itself.
Use Cases
This fleece is ideal for construction workers, roadside recovery teams, and warehouse staff who need to remain visible and warm. Because the orange version meets RIS-3279-TOM standards, it is a necessary choice for rail contractors. The high visibility classification makes it suitable for environments where traffic speeds exceed 30mph or where visibility is severely hampered by weather or lighting.

Practical Advice
This fleece is designed with a standard fit to allow for layering. When choosing a size, we recommend measuring your chest over a standard t-shirt or base layer. If you intend to wear multiple thick layers underneath, you may wish to consider moving up one size. The tear-out tag also allows for increased comfort, preventing irritation at the neck during long shifts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and the soft texture of the Symmetry fleece, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. Begin by washing the garment inside out with all fasteners closed; this prevents the zips from damaging the fleece surface or your embroidered logo during the cycle.
Use a mild wash with a low spin cycle. High-speed spinning can distort the shape of the fleece and stress the reflective tapes. Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and diminish the fluorescent quality of the fabric, compromising your safety. Tumble drying and ironing should be avoided entirely, as excessive heat can melt the synthetic fibres and damage the reflective chevrons.
Always store the garment away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the hi-vis pigments over time. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing to prevent any musty odours or fabric degradation.
