Product Overview
The Stormtech Pulse fleece pullover is a sophisticated technical garment designed to serve as the foundation of a professional multi-layer system. Engineered for individuals engaged in high-exertion activities, this streamlined baselayer utilises H2X-DRY technology to actively manage moisture by wicking it away from the skin. This process is essential for regulating body temperature, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable even when the physical demands of the job increase. The 1/4-zip design provides a practical method for manual ventilation, allowing for quick adjustments as conditions change.
Key Features
- Advanced moisture management through H2X-DRY fabric, which accelerates evaporation to keep the wearer dry during intense activity.
- Integrated thermal properties that provide a lightweight layer of insulation, making it the perfect base for colder environments.
- Contrast cover stitch detailing and a matching zip, which provide a professional and distinct aesthetic that stands out in a workspace.
- A body-contouring fit that ensures the garment sits close to the skin for maximum technical efficiency without restricting movement.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 92% polyester and 8% spandex, this pullover offers a significant degree of four-way stretch. This allows the garment to move with the wearer, which is particularly beneficial for tradespeople or professionals who require a full range of motion. The fabric is a lightweight fleece that provides warmth without the bulk associated with traditional thermal wear.
The performance is further enhanced by the garment's ability to maintain its shape and technical properties over time. The spandex content ensures the 1/4-zip retains its contoured fit, preventing the fabric from sagging or becoming cumbersome under outer layers. Furthermore, the inclusion of contrast stitching is not merely for style; it reinforces the seams for improved durability during daily wear.
Why No Customisation?
This item is sold as-is because it is designed specifically as a technical baselayer. Because it is intended to sit directly against the skin to facilitate moisture wicking, embroidery is not recommended as the backing and stitching could cause significant skin irritation.
Additionally, the high spandex content and technical H2X-DRY coating make the fabric less suitable for heat-applied transfers, as the application process could compromise the garment's ability to breathe and manage moisture effectively. To maintain the integrity of the performance fabric, we recommend placing your branding on mid or outer layers instead.
Use Cases
This pullover is ideal for outdoor professionals, site managers, and delivery personnel who operate in variable climates. It is best utilised as a primary layer under a softshell jacket or heavy parka, providing a reliable moisture-management system for those who move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this garment is designed to be a streamlined, close-fitting baselayer to ensure the moisture-wicking technology functions correctly. If you prefer a looser fit for casual wear, you may wish to consider moving up one size. It is best worn directly over the skin or a very thin undershirt to allow the H2X-DRY technology to work most efficiently.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the lifespan of your Stormtech Pulse fleece, it is important to follow specific care instructions carefully. Proper maintenance ensures the moisture-wicking properties and fabric elasticity remain intact.
We recommend a cold machine wash. Cold water is gentler on the synthetic fibres and helps prevent the breakdown of the spandex, which is responsible for the garment's stretch and shape retention. High temperatures can damage the H2X-DRY coating, reducing its ability to manage perspiration.
For drying, use a low tumble dry setting. Excessive heat in a dryer can cause the polyester to become brittle or shrink. By keeping the heat low, you preserve the soft texture of the fleece and ensure the garment fits correctly for longer.
Do not iron this pullover. The fabric blend is highly sensitive to direct heat; an iron will likely melt the synthetic fibres, causing permanent damage to the appearance and the technical capabilities of the garment. If washed and dried correctly, the fabric is naturally crease-resistant.
