Product Overview
The Result Junior PolarTherm top is a robust, heavy-weight fleece designed to withstand the daily rigours of school life and outdoor adventures. Engineered with a casual cut and a stretchy fit, it offers children the freedom of movement necessary for play while providing significant thermal protection. As a long-standing school favourite, this unlined garment is intentionally designed to be packable and easy to wear, making it an ideal companion for both the playground and family holidays.
Key Features
- Anti-pill finish: This specialised treatment prevents the formation of small bobbles on the fabric surface, ensuring the fleece maintains a professional, clean appearance even after repeated washing.
- Fleece-lined side pockets: Two integrated pockets provide essential warmth for hands and secure storage for small items, with the lining offering an extra layer of insulation.
- 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Triangles: Positioned on both the front and back, these high-visibility elements enhance child safety during low-light conditions, such as the walk home from school.
- Adjustable shockcord hem: Compliant with EN14682 safety standards, this feature allows for a tailored fit that helps trap heat and exclude draughts.
- Elasticated cuffs: These provide a secure fit at the wrists, preventing sleeves from interfering with activities and keeping warmth locked inside.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester heavy active fleece, this garment is built for durability. The fabric is substantial yet breathable, providing a high level of insulation without the bulk of a traditional lined jacket. Its hardwearing nature ensures it can cope with the friction and abrasion common in junior environments. The inclusion of a full-length front zip allows for easy ventilation, while the stretchy fit accommodates growth and varying layers of clothing underneath.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This fleece is an excellent candidate for customisation, whether for school uniforms, sports clubs, or youth organisations. For a formal and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery; our high-precision machinery handles logos and names with exceptional detail, ensuring they stand up to frequent laundering. If your design is larger or requires bold, vibrant graphics, transfer printing or screen print transfers are highly effective options. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, uses an open access point to ensure the branding process is seamless and the internal finish remains comfortable against the skin.
Use Cases
This fleece is specifically tailored for junior school uniforms, providing a smart yet practical outer layer. It is equally suited for outdoor education centres, scouting groups, or as a reliable holiday layer that can be easily stowed in a backpack when not in use.

Practical Advice
The Junior PolarTherm top is designed with a casual cut to allow for layering over school shirts or t-shirts. When selecting a size, consider the child's height and chest measurement; our range spans from XXS for ages 3/4 up to XL for ages 12/14. For those between sizes, opting for the larger size will allow for extra longevity as the child grows.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal properties and the integrity of the anti-pill finish, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. However, for more intensive cleaning required by school activities, this garment is safe to wash at 60°C, which helps to remove stubborn stains and bacteria.
It is vital that you do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the colours to fade prematurely. When drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer to prevent any heat-related shrinkage or damage to the reflective materials.
Do not iron this garment. The high heat of a domestic iron can melt the synthetic fleece fibres, resulting in permanent damage to the texture and performance of the top. Professional dry cleaning is also an option for maintaining the garment's shape over time.
