Product Overview
The Ribbon Heated Eskimo blanket hoodie represents a sophisticated advancement in thermal workwear, designed for individuals who require consistent warmth in sedentary or demanding environments. This oversized garment combines the comfort of a heavyweight fleece with the utility of integrated heating technology. Engineered from 100% polyester microfleece, it serves as a robust barrier against the cold while maintaining a professional yet comfortable silhouette. The inclusion of a USB-A connection allows the wearer to utilise standard power banks, making it a versatile choice for staff working in unheated warehouses, site offices, or during outdoor events.
Key Features
- Adjustable Thermal Control: Featuring three distinct heat settings—low, medium, and high—this hoodie allows the wearer to precisely calibrate their temperature to suit the environment.
- Integrated USB-A Connectivity: The garment connects seamlessly to most standard power banks, providing a flexible power source for the heating elements without the need for proprietary batteries.
- Functional Storage: Large, well-positioned pockets provide ample space for tools or personal items while acting as a secondary source of warmth for the hands.
- Inclusive Sizing: The oversized, one-size-fits-most design ensures a comfortable fit for a wide range of body types, simplifying procurement for diverse teams.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial, heavyweight microfleece, the Ribbon RI018 is built for durability and thermal efficiency. The 100% polyester fabric is chosen for its ability to trap air and provide insulation even before the heating elements are engaged. Despite its substantial weight and volume, the microfleece remains soft to the touch, ensuring comfort throughout long shifts. The large hood is designed to offer additional protection against draughts, while the tagless design prevents irritation during extended wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its unique heated construction, this blanket hoodie is fully compatible with both print and embroidery. For a formal and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names; our Telford-based team uses high-precision machinery to ensure a crisp, professional result that withstands regular wear. Alternatively, film transfer printing is an excellent choice for larger, high-impact branding on the back or chest. Every customisation is handled in-house by our expert team, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is particularly well-suited for employees in roles with low physical activity in cold settings. This includes security personnel on late-night shifts, warehouse office staff, and mobile event teams. It is also an excellent choice for corporate gifting or as part of a wellness-focused uniform range for employees working from home during the winter months.

Practical Advice
As this is a substantial, oversized garment, it is designed to be worn over standard clothing. We recommend pairing it with a lightweight base layer to maximise the efficiency of the heating elements. Please note that a power bank is required for the heating function and must be purchased separately; we advise using a high-capacity bank for prolonged heat duration.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the integrated heating elements and the soft texture of the microfleece, the garment should be washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle or hand-washed. Using a higher temperature or a vigorous cycle may damage the internal wiring or lead to fabric pilling.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and potentially compromise the electronic components. The hoodie should be air-dried only; do not tumble dry or iron, as high direct heat can melt the synthetic fibres and cause permanent damage to the heating system.
