Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Navigate half-zip fleece is a meticulously engineered garment designed for those who require consistent thermal regulation without the bulk of traditional heavy outerwear. Using specialised Layerlite fabric technology, this fleece serves as an ideal insulating mid-layer for winter conditions or a professional outer layer during milder spells. Its construction balances the need for warmth with a lightweight profile, ensuring that busy professionals can move freely and comfortably throughout their shift.
Key Features
Mini grid fleece texture: The specialized 100% polyester fabric uses a grid pattern to trap air efficiently, providing superior insulation while remaining breathable.
Sustainable material choice: This garment is crafted using at least 30% recycled materials, allowing your business to make environmentally conscious uniform choices without sacrificing performance.
Half-zip neck design: The durable zip allows for rapid temperature adjustment and provides a structured, professional appearance when fully closed.
Layerlite fabric technology: Engineered to offer high thermal retention while remaining lightweight, this fabric ensures the wearer is not weighed down during physically demanding tasks.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Navigate fleece is rooted in its mini grid construction. Unlike standard flat-weave fleeces, the grid structure creates tiny pockets of air that hold body heat close to the skin, providing a higher level of warmth relative to its weight. The 100% polyester fibres are inherently moisture-resistant and quick-drying, making this a reliable choice for the unpredictable British weather. The design includes a sewn tag for comfort and a tailored fit that prevents the garment from feeling cumbersome when worn under a heavy work jacket.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the textured nature of the mini grid fleece, this item is offered exclusively for embroidery. Heat-applied prints often struggle to adhere correctly to the uneven surface of fleece materials and can lose their integrity over time. Embroidery, however, anchors directly into the fabric, providing a premium, high-contrast finish for your company logo. Our expert in-house team in Telford has been refining this process since 1976, ensuring that every stitch is precise and designed to last as long as the garment itself.
Use Cases
The Navigate fleece is a versatile addition to any professional wardrobe, particularly suited for tradespeople, warehouse operators, and site managers who require a smart yet practical uniform. Its lightweight nature makes it perfect for those who are constantly on the move, while the professional half-zip collar ensures you remain presentable during client meetings or site inspections.

Practical Advice
This fleece is available in a broad size range from Small to 3XL. When selecting your size, consider your layering requirements; if you intend to wear this over multiple thick layers, you may prefer a more generous fit. For those using it as a sleek mid-layer under a waterproof shell, the standard sizing provides a streamlined silhouette that minimises bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the mini grid fleece and the appearance of your embroidery, a standard machine wash is recommended. Regular washing ensures that dirt and oils do not clog the fabric's air-trapping grid structure.
You must avoid using bleach, as these harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the thread of your embroidered logo to lose its colour. We also advise against tumble drying; high temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and cause the garment to lose its shape. Air drying is the most effective way to preserve the fleece's soft handle.
Do not iron this garment. The heat from an iron will melt the polyester grid and ruin the insulating properties of the fabric. Likewise, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemical processes are unnecessary for this material and may interfere with the durability of the custom branding.
