Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Zip-neck microfleece (RG134) represents a sophisticated departure from the standard, bulky fleece often found on worksites. Designed for the professional who requires warmth without the unnecessary volume, this over-the-head garment offers a streamlined silhouette that fits comfortably under outer layers or serves as a sharp standalone top. Utilizing specialized Layer Lite fabric technology, it provides a functional solution for those transitional British seasons where the weather cannot quite make up its mind. It is a smart, versatile piece that ensures your team looks unified and professional while remaining practical for physical labor.
Key Features
Layerlite Fabric Technology: This innovative construction allows for a lightweight fabric that traps heat effectively without the bulk of traditional heavy fleeces, ensuring ease of movement throughout the day.
Superior Wicking Performance: The fabric is engineered to pull moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during periods of high physical activity.
Fleece Cuffs: The integrated fleece cuffs provide a soft, secure fit at the wrists, helping to retain body heat and preventing sleeves from interfering with manual tasks.
Zip-Neck Design: The quarter-zip entry allows for quick temperature regulation and provides a more formal aesthetic compared to a standard crew neck.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 170 series microfleece, this garment is engineered for durability and thermal efficiency. The fabric works by trapping organic heat within its fibers, creating a thermal barrier that is surprisingly effective given its lightweight nature. Because it is a microfleece, the pile is shorter and more densely woven than standard fleece, which reduces pilling and maintains a professional appearance even after repeated wear. The bulk-free composition is particularly beneficial for active workers who find traditional heavy jackets restrictive when working in tight spaces or performing overhead tasks.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the textured, soft pile of the 170 series microfleece, this item is reserved exclusively for embroidery. While the fabric's surface is too fibrous for traditional print methods to adhere correctly, it provides the perfect stable base for high-density stitching. Our in-house embroidery team, established in Telford in 1976, utilizes precision machinery to ensure your logo is rendered with crisp detail. Embroidery on microfleece provides a premium, three-dimensional finish that withstands the rigours of industrial washing far better than other branding methods, ensuring your corporate identity remains intact for the life of the garment.
Use Cases
This microfleece is an excellent choice for warehouse staff, delivery drivers, and site managers who require a professional appearance but need protection from the cold. Its lightweight profile makes it an ideal mid-layer for outdoor tradespeople working in construction or landscaping, fitting neatly under a waterproof shell. It is equally at home in a retail or office environment where a standard sweatshirt might appear too casual.

Practical Advice
The Regatta Zip-neck microfleece is available in sizes ranging from Small to 2XL. Given its lightweight and 'bulk-free' design, it is intended to have a closer fit to the body to maximize its thermal properties. If you intend to wear multiple thick layers underneath, you may wish to consider the measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. For the best thermal performance, we recommend wearing this over a moisture-wicking base layer.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your microfleece, proper maintenance is essential. We recommend a cool machine wash using pure soap flakes. Standard detergents can sometimes contain harsh chemicals that break down the microfleece fibers over time, whereas soap flakes preserve the soft texture and thermal efficiency.
Do not use bleach, as this will irreparably damage the fabric dyes and weaken the structural integrity of the fibers. This garment should not be tumble dried; instead, allow it to air dry. High heat from a dryer can cause microfleece to shrink or 'melt' the fine fibers, leading to a harsh, scratchy texture.
Ironing is strictly prohibited for this material. The synthetic nature of microfleece means it is prone to melting under direct heat, which would ruin both the garment and your iron. Additionally, do not dry clean. Always ensure all fasteners are closed before washing to prevent the zip from snagging on the fabric or embroidery, and never store the garment while damp to avoid the development of mildew.
