Product Overview
The Stormtech Womens Avalante fleece vest is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, designed specifically for those who require both warmth and freedom of movement. Part of the Pure Earth sustainable collection, this garment is crafted with a high proportion of recycled polyester, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on performance.
This heavyweight fleece vest features articulated shoulders and an extended zip front with a low-profile chin saver, ensuring comfort during active shifts. The design balances a professional aesthetic with the rugged durability required for daily wear in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Articulated Shoulders: Designed to move with the wearer, these shoulders prevent the vest from riding up or restricting movement during physical tasks.
- Secure Zipped Pockets: Provide a reliable place to store essential tools or personal items, ensuring they remain safe while you are on the move.
- Pure Earth Sustainable Fabric: Utilising recycled polyester, this vest supports corporate social responsibility goals while maintaining high fabric integrity.
- Low-Profile Chin Saver: This feature prevents the zip from irritating the skin, a small but significant detail for those wearing the garment over long periods.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial fleece fabric, the Avalante vest offers exceptional thermal insulation. The blend of recycled and standard polyester creates a dense, soft pile that effectively traps heat around the core while remaining breathable enough for active use.
The performance-led design is evident in the finishing; the zip-neck allows for easy temperature regulation in changeable British weather. The durability of the fleece ensures it resists thinning over time, maintaining its shape and professional appearance even after repeated industrial laundering.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the textured nature and high-pile finish of the fleece fabric, this garment is offered for embroidery only. Printing methods such as heat transfer or screen printing are unsuitable for this material, as they cannot adhere properly to the textured surface and may peel or crack.
Embroidery, however, is the ideal choice. Our in-house embroidery team, established in 1976, uses high-quality threads that sink into the fleece, creating a premium, three-dimensional finish that is as durable as the vest itself. This ensures your company logo remains sharp and professional for the life of the garment.
Use Cases
This vest is perfectly suited for site managers, warehouse supervisors, or outdoor event staff who require core warmth while keeping their arms free for manual tasks. Its stylish, tailored fit also makes it an excellent choice for corporate team-building events or as a professional layer for staff working in cooler retail environments.

Practical Advice
This vest is designed with a feminine fit; we recommend reviewing the sizing guide to ensure the articulated shoulders sit correctly for maximum mobility. It layers exceptionally well over a long-sleeved polo shirt or a base layer, providing a versatile solution for fluctuating indoor and outdoor temperatures.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your fleece vest, we recommend a cool wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the recycled polyester fibres and may cause the fleece to lose its soft texture over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric and cause the embroidered logo to fade. We also advise against tumble drying; instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally to preserve the integrity of the stitch work and prevent any shrinkage that could distort the fit of the vest.
