Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Overhead fleece provides a sophisticated and practical alternative to traditional full-zip fleeces. Engineered to balance warmth with a streamlined silhouette, this medium-weight fleece utilizes a 250 series anti-pill symmetry fabric. Its primary function is to generate and trap heat effectively within a bulk-free composition, making it an ideal choice for professionals who require insulation without the restriction of heavy outerwear.
Key Features
- Fleece Cuffs: These provide a soft, comfortable seal at the wrists, preventing cold air from entering the sleeves and maintaining core temperature.
- Two Zipped Lower Pockets: Secure storage for essential tools or personal items, ensuring they remain protected and accessible while you work.
- Adjustable Shockcord Hem: This allows the wearer to customise the fit, sealing in warmth and preventing draughts from rising up from the waist.
Design & Performance
Constructed from Regatta's 250 series symmetry fleece, this garment is designed for longevity and consistent performance. The anti-pill finish is essential for maintaining a professional appearance; it prevents the formation of small fabric bobbles that can occur after repeated wear and friction. The medium-weight fabric is specifically chosen for its ability to provide significant thermal protection while remaining remarkably light, ensuring the wearer does not feel weighed down during active tasks.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
This fleece is exclusively suitable for embroidery, a choice driven by the technical nature of the fabric. The high-pile texture of the symmetry fleece does not provide the smooth surface required for heat-applied prints, which would lack the necessary adhesion and finish. Embroidery, however, allows our Telford-based team to stitch your logo directly into the fabric. Since 1976, we have refined our in-house embroidery processes to ensure that your branding is durable, vibrant, and presents a premium, professional image that far outlasts printed alternatives on this type of material.
Use Cases
This overhead fleece is perfectly suited for tradespeople and site managers who require a reliable mid-layer during the colder months. Its professional aesthetic also makes it an excellent choice for warehouse staff or transport professionals who transition frequently between indoor and outdoor environments. It serves equally well as a standalone outer layer in milder conditions or as a thermal layer beneath a waterproof shell.

Practical Advice
This fleece is designed with a standard fit, ranging from Small to 3XL. Given its overhead design, we recommend checking the chest measurements carefully to ensure ease of movement when layering over a base t-shirt or polo shirt. For those working in particularly harsh conditions, this garment functions exceptionally well as a primary insulator beneath a high-visibility jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal performance and appearance of your fleece, we recommend a cool machine wash using pure soap flakes. Standard detergents can sometimes be too harsh for symmetry fleece, while soap flakes help preserve the fabric's soft handle and anti-pill properties.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will chemically break down the synthetic fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your embroidered logo. It is also important not to tumble dry or iron this item; high heat can melt the fleece fibres, leading to a loss of texture and potentially damaging the structural integrity of the garment.
Ensure all fasteners are closed before washing to prevent snagging. Finally, do not store the fleece while damp and keep it away from solvents or alcohols, which can cause permanent damage to the fabric finish.
