Product Overview
The Stormtech Yosemite full-zip fleece jacket represents a sophisticated evolution of the traditional mid-layer. It is engineered for professionals who require a garment that performs as well as it looks, transitioning seamlessly from a corporate office environment to an active site visit. Constructed from a lightweight sweater-knit fleece, this jacket offers a refined alternative to standard pile fleeces, providing essential warmth without the bulk. The brushed interior feels exceptionally soft against the skin, ensuring comfort throughout a long working day, while the use of 72% recycled polyester makes it a responsible choice for the modern, environmentally-conscious business.
Key Features

- Zipped Handwarmer Pockets: These provide secure storage for essential tools or mobile devices while offering a practical solution for keeping hands warm in cooler conditions.
- Low-Profile Chin Saver: A thoughtful design detail that prevents the zip from irritating the skin, ensuring comfort even when fully fastened.
- Raglan Sleeves with Darted Shoulders: These allow for a natural range of motion and a superior fit, preventing the garment from riding up during physical tasks.
- Brushed Tricot-Lined Collar: Adds an extra layer of soft insulation around the neck, protecting against drafts.
Design & Performance
The Yosemite jacket is defined by its streamlined silhouette and technical fabric. The lightweight knit fleece is designed to trap heat effectively through its brushed-back interior while maintaining high levels of breathability, preventing the wearer from overheating during periods of activity. The contrast coverstitching and colour-matched trim add a subtle, professional aesthetic that distinguishes this jacket from casual leisurewear.
The inclusion of elasticated hem and cuff trims ensures the jacket retains its shape and keeps the warmth where it belongs—inside. This is a garment designed for longevity, featuring robust construction that can withstand the rigours of daily professional use while maintaining its premium appearance.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the specific texture of the sweater-knit fleece, this garment is offered exclusively for embroidery. The knit surface, while comfortable, is not suitable for heat-applied prints which may not adhere correctly or could damage the fabric's thermal properties. Embroidery, however, provides a prestigious and durable finish that sits perfectly within the fabric's weave.
Our in-house embroidery team, operating from our Telford facility since 1976, uses high-quality threads to ensure your company logo is replicated with precision. This method ensures your branding remains sharp and professional, wash after wash, complementing the premium nature of the Stormtech brand.
Use Cases
The Yosemite is an ideal choice for management and supervisory staff who require a smart, uniform appearance that provides warmth in varied environments. It is equally suited for customer-facing roles in the technical or trade sectors, where a professional image is paramount. Given its lightweight nature, it serves as an excellent year-round layer for those working in climate-controlled warehouses or drafty offices.

Practical Advice
This jacket is designed with a streamlined fit; if you intend to wear multiple layers or a thick shirt underneath, you may wish to consider the measurements carefully. The sizing range is extensive, reaching up to 5XL, ensuring a professional look for your entire team. It functions exceptionally well as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during inclement weather.
Caring for your product
To ensure your jacket and its embroidered branding remain in peak condition, we recommend a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Using cold water prevents the synthetic fibres from breaking down and helps maintain the vibrant colour of the knit.
It is vital to avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the fleece fibres and significantly reduce the garment's natural breathability. Likewise, bleach should never be used, as it will weaken the polyester threads and cause your embroidery to fade or discolour.
For drying, we advise hanging the garment to air dry or using a tumble dryer on a very low temperature setting. High heat is the enemy of synthetic fabrics and can cause the embroidery to pucker. If ironing is necessary, use a low setting and never iron directly over the embroidered logo, as this can melt the thread and ruin the design.
