Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Core stretch half-zip mid-layer is a well-engineered garment designed to meet the demands of active professionals. This lightweight layer provides an essential bridge between a base layer and outer protection, offering a sophisticated balance of warmth and breathability. Constructed from a blend of recycled polyester and elastane, it reflects a modern approach to workwear that does not compromise on performance or environmental responsibility.
Key Features
- Sustainable Fabric Composition: Utilising 95% recycled polyester, this garment supports corporate sustainability goals while maintaining professional standards.
- Enhanced Flexibility: The inclusion of 5% elastane ensures a stretch fit that moves with the wearer, preventing restriction during overhead tasks or manual labour.
- Efficient Moisture Management: The quick-drying nature of the fabric ensures that moisture is moved away from the skin, keeping the wearer comfortable throughout long shifts.
- Versatile Half-Zip Design: The front zip allows for easy temperature regulation and simple removal, making it a practical choice for changing environments.
- Tear-out Tag: A simple feature that allows for easy rebranding or increased comfort by removing neck irritation.
Design & Performance
This mid-layer is crafted from a lightweight fabric that offers surprisingly high resistance to wear and tear. The polyester stretch fabric is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand the rigours of a builders' yard or a busy warehouse without losing its shape. The stretch fit is tailored to be close to the body without being restrictive, ensuring that the garment remains agile under a jacket or as a standalone piece in milder conditions. Because it is quick-drying, it is an excellent choice for outdoor workers who may face unpredictable weather or high-intensity tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of this mid-layer makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery customisation. For companies seeking a traditional and highly durable finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium appearance that withstands frequent laundering.
Alternatively, for larger or more complex designs that require high visibility and vibrant colours, film or screen printing is a superior choice. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, oversees the entire process in-house to ensure your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
The RG365 is particularly well-suited for trade professionals, including builders, electricians, and plumbers who require a layer that facilitates full range of movement. It is equally at home in warehouse environments or for logistics personnel who transition frequently between vehicles and loading bays. Given its sleek appearance, it also serves as an excellent uniform for sports and leisure staff or for corporate activity days.

Practical Advice
This garment is designed with a stretch fit, accommodating sizes from Small to 3XL. When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath it; the fabric's flexibility means it can comfortably sit over a polo shirt or t-shirt while still fitting neatly under a heavier winter coat. For those between sizes, the stretch fit generally allows for a more tailored look without sacrificing comfort.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of this mid-layer, it should be fully machine washed according to the instructions. This ensures that dirt and oils are removed without damaging the technical fibres.
Bleaching must be avoided at all costs. The chemicals in bleach will degrade the recycled polyester and elastane, causing the fabric to lose its stretch and structural integrity. Similarly, do not tumble dry this garment; the high heat can damage the synthetic fibres and may affect the longevity of any custom print or embroidery.
Ironing is not required and should be avoided, as direct heat can melt the polyester components. For the best results and to preserve the life of the garment, do not dry clean, as the harsh solvents used in the process are unnecessary for this type of performance fabric.
