Product Overview
The Stormtech Yosemite ¼-zip pullover represents a sophisticated evolution of the traditional mid-layer, blending technical performance with environmental responsibility. Designed for professionals who require a versatile garment that transitions seamlessly between active environments and corporate settings, this pullover features an ultra-soft sweater knit fleece that provides an elegant exterior appearance. The inclusion of 72% recycled polyester demonstrates a commitment to sustainable procurement without sacrificing the durability or thermal efficiency expected from high-end workwear.
Key Features
- Brushed Interior Fleece: The internal fabric is brushed to create a soft loft that traps air, providing superior thermal properties to keep the wearer warm in cooler climates.
- Raglan Sleeves with Darted Shoulders: This construction removes seams from the top of the shoulder, reducing friction when worn under outer layers and ensuring a full range of ergonomic movement.
- Low-Profile Chin Saver: Integrated at the top of the ¼-zip, this feature prevents the zip hardware from irritating the skin, ensuring comfort during long shifts.
- Tricot-Lined Collar: The collar is lined with brushed tricot for a soft feel against the neck, enhancing the overall comfort of the garment's silhouette.
- Elastic Hem and Cuff Trim: These low-profile bindings help the garment retain its shape and prevent heat loss by creating a secure fit at the openings.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a streamlined silhouette, the Yosemite pullover is a masterclass in functional design. The fabric composition of 72% recycled polyester and 28% polyester knit fleece creates a medium-weight textile that offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The sweater-knit face gives the garment a refined look that avoids the overly casual appearance of standard fleece, making it suitable for front-of-house or management roles.
Performance is further enhanced by the contrast coverstitching and colour-matched trim, which provide structural reinforcement at the seams while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. The breathable nature of the knit construction ensures that moisture is managed effectively during physical exertion, preventing the build-up of humidity inside the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Yosemite pullover is an ideal canvas for professional branding. The stable, sweater-knit exterior is particularly well-suited for high-density embroidery, allowing for intricate company logos and staff names to be rendered with exceptional clarity and a sophisticated finish. The flat-knit surface also accommodates precision film printing for larger, bolder designs that require high visibility.

Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for corporate activewear, site management, and technical trade roles where a professional yet functional mid-layer is required. It is equally effective as a standalone piece in mild conditions or as a primary insulating layer beneath a waterproof shell during inclement weather.

Practical Advice
The Yosemite features a streamlined fit; for those who prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to wear multiple thick layers underneath, we suggest reviewing the size guide, which extends up to 5XL. The raglan sleeve design is particularly beneficial for those with broader shoulders, as it provides more flexibility than a standard set-in sleeve.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the soft handle of the knit fleece, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. We recommend a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. This lower temperature protects the recycled polyester fibres and ensures the garment retains its shape over time.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and reduce the breathability and thermal efficiency of the fleece. Bleach should never be used, as it will break down the synthetic yarns and cause significant colour fading.
For drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting or, preferably, hang the garment to dry naturally. High heat can damage the elastic trims and cause shrinkage. If ironing is required, use a low setting and avoid the decorated areas entirely to prevent damage to your custom print or embroidery. This garment should not be dry cleaned, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can degrade the technical properties of the knit fleece.
