Product Overview
The Tombo Technical 1/4-zip top is a precision-engineered garment designed for individuals who require high performance and a professional aesthetic. Constructed from a sophisticated four-way stretch microfibre fabric, this lightweight top offers exceptional mobility and moisture-wicking properties. Whether utilised for active teamwear, training, or as a contemporary corporate layer, its unisex design ensures a versatile fit for a wide range of body types. The integration of a mesh-lined body and taffeta-lined sleeves provides a superior internal environment, balancing breathability with structural integrity.
Key Features
- Four-Way Stretch Microfibre: The fabric expands and recovers in all directions, providing unrestricted movement during physical activity while maintaining the garment's shape.
- 1/4-Zip with Snap-Down Pull: The locking mechanism on the zip prevents the puller from bouncing during movement, ensuring a distraction-free experience.
- Self-Fabric Zip Guard: An internal facing and zip guard protect the wearer from skin irritation and prevent the zip from catching on base layers.
- Concealed Side Pockets: Zip-fastened pockets are integrated into the side panel seams, offering secure storage for essentials without disrupting the streamlined silhouette.
- Funnel Neck Collar: The high collar provides additional protection against the elements and maintains a professional appearance even in casual settings.
- Tear-Out Label: Allows for easy rebranding and prevents neck irritation for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The technical composition of 90% polyester and 10% elastane creates a fabric that is both resilient and flexible. This blend is specifically chosen for its ability to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry during high-intensity tasks. The inclusion of top-stitched seams and twin-needle stitched hems increases the overall durability of the garment, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of daily wear in demanding environments. The inner mesh lining is essential for airflow, while the taffeta sleeve lining allows for easy removal over other garments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This technical top is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align the garment with your brand identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional and enduring finish, particularly for company logos or staff names on the chest. The fine weave of the microfibre ensures that embroidery sits flat and remains legible.
For larger, high-impact branding, our printing services offer a bold and vibrant alternative. This is particularly effective for team names or promotional messaging across the back. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, manages all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards of quality control and precision.
Use Cases
The Tombo Technical 1/4-zip top is ideally suited for gym instructors, sports teams, and active field workers who require a layer that moves with them. It also serves as an excellent modern alternative to traditional knitwear for corporate environments that favour an athleisure-inspired uniform. Its sleek design makes it suitable for both client-facing roles and internal operations.

Practical Advice
This top is designed with a modern fit in mind. For those planning to wear it as a primary layer for high-intensity activity, we recommend staying true to size. If you intend to use it as an outer layer over bulkier polo shirts or base layers, you may wish to consider the generous size range, which extends from XS up to 3XL, to ensure a comfortable fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance characteristics of the microfibre fabric, we recommend a synthetic wash at 30°C. Using a higher temperature can damage the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of shape and elasticity over time. It is vital to wash similar colours together to prevent any potential colour migration.
Do not use fabric softeners. These products can coat the microfibre, effectively clogging the pores and significantly reducing the fabric's ability to wick moisture and breathe. Bleaching should also be avoided, as it will weaken the synthetic fibres and degrade the fabric's integrity.
For drying, we advise against the use of a tumble dryer. The concentrated heat can cause the technical fabric to shrink or warp. Instead, air dry the garment. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting on the reverse of the fabric to protect any custom print or embroidery and to avoid scorching the polyester.
