Product Overview
The Stormtech Medusa fleece hoodie is a sophisticated fusion of environmental responsibility and technical performance. Part of the Pure Earth by STORMTECH collection, this garment is engineered from 100% recycled polyester fibre, offering a sustainable solution for the modern workforce without compromising on warmth or professional appearance. Designed as a versatile mid-layer, it transitions seamlessly from outdoor site visits to urban office environments, providing a substantial barrier against the cold when temperatures begin to drop.
Key Features
Ottoman-Knit Fleece Shell: The ultra-soft textured knit provides a high-quality feel and exceptional heat retention, ensuring you stay comfortable during long shifts in cooler climates.
Three-Piece Adjustable Hood: The easy-lock, full-coverage design provides a more ergonomic fit than standard hoods, staying in place even in blustery conditions.
Zipped Handwarmer Pockets: On-seam pockets with secure zip closures provide a safe space for essential tools or mobile devices while keeping hands protected from the elements.
Contoured Side Panels: These panels create a more tailored, professional silhouette, ensuring the hoodie looks as good as it performs without restricting movement.
Low-Profile Chin Saver: This integrated feature prevents the zip from irritating the skin, a small but essential detail for those wearing the garment throughout a full working day.
Design & Performance
The Medusa hoodie is crafted with a focus on durability and tactile comfort. The heavyweight fleece fabric features a distinctive ottoman-knit pattern, which adds structural integrity to the garment and prevents it from losing shape over time. The interior is finished with a brushed tricot hood facing, which feels soft against the face and adds an extra layer of insulation. With an adjustable hem and elasticated cuffs, this hoodie is designed to seal in body heat, making it a reliable choice for those working in exposed or unheated environments.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the unique ottoman-knit texture and the plush nature of the fleece fabric, this garment is suitable for embroidery only. The textured surface of the fleece does not provide the flat, stable base required for high-quality heat transfers or screen printing. However, embroidery thrives on this material. Our in-house embroidery team, operating since 1976, uses high-density stitching that anchors firmly into the knit, resulting in a premium, three-dimensional finish for your logo. This method ensures your branding remains sharp and professional, even after heavy use and industrial laundering.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an excellent choice for site managers, surveyors, and outdoor contractors who require a professional appearance while braving the elements. It is also highly recommended for companies with strong environmental commitments who wish to align their corporate uniform with their sustainability goals. Whether used as a standalone outer layer in autumn or a mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket in winter, it provides versatile protection.

Practical Advice
The Medusa hoodie features a contoured fit. If you intend to wear multiple layers underneath, such as a thick work shirt or a base layer, you may wish to consider sizing up for maximum comfort. The adjustable hem allows you to tighten the waist to prevent draughts, making it particularly effective when working at height or in windy conditions.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of the recycled polyester fibres and the integrity of your embroidered logo, we recommend a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle. Washing at high temperatures can cause synthetic fibres to break down prematurely or lose their shape.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fleece fibres and reduce their breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Do not use bleach, as this will damage the recycled material and cause the colours to fade.
When drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting. High heat from a tumble dryer or an iron can melt the polyester fibres and distort the ottoman-knit texture. For this reason, we also advise that you do not iron the garment or the embroidered decoration. Following these steps will ensure your hoodie remains a staple of your work wardrobe for years to come.
