Product Overview
The Tombo Women's long-sleeved zip top is a precision-engineered piece of performance wear designed to facilitate movement while managing the body's microclimate. Constructed from a high-performance single Jersey fabric, this garment serves as a versatile mid-layer or a standalone top for active professionals. Its primary function is to provide comfort through technical features such as a wicking finish and integrated thumbholes, ensuring that physical exertion does not compromise professional performance.
Key Features
- Wicking Fabric Finish: The material is treated to actively pull moisture away from the skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during high-intensity tasks.
- Thumbholes and Fold-over Cuffs: These provide extra coverage for the hands in cooler conditions and ensure the sleeves stay securely in place when layering under jackets.
- Reflective Detailing: Integrated reflective dots on the back and reflective trim on the zip enhance visibility in low-light environments, providing a critical safety benefit for outdoor staff.
- Secure Storage: A concealed zip key pocket on the back panel offers a safe place for small essentials, with an internal headphone access hole for those requiring communication or audio access on the move.
- Semi-Automatic Lock Zip: The 1/4 length zip features a slider that stays in position, allowing the wearer to adjust ventilation without the zip slipping during movement.
Design & Performance
This garment is manufactured from a lightweight blend of 88% Polyester and 12% Elastane. The high elastane content is crucial; it provides excellent four-way stretch and recovery, ensuring the top moves with the wearer and retains its shape over time. The single Jersey knit offers a smooth, professional exterior that resists pilling and provides a sleek profile.
Performance is further enhanced by raglan sleeves and flatlock stitching. By moving the seams away from the top of the shoulders and using flat seams, the design minimises potential chafing points, which is essential for comfort during long shifts or repetitive movement. The stand-up self-fabric collar provides a structured look while offering protection against the elements.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tombo long-sleeved zip top is suitable for both print and embroidery, allowing for versatile branding options. For a superior finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names on the chest or collar; it provides a durable, professional appearance that withstands frequent laundering.
If you require larger, high-impact branding or safety messaging, our technical print processes are ideal. Our in-house production team, based in Telford since 1976, ensures that every customisation is applied with precision, maintaining the fabric's integrity and performance characteristics.
Use Cases
This top is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications, from personal trainers and sports coaches to logistics staff who require a breathable layer. Its visibility features also make it a sensible choice for staff working in transport or delivery roles where they may be moving between vehicles and warehouses.

Practical Advice
The sizing ranges from XS (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 20). Given the slim, athletic fit required for performance wear, we recommend checking the size guide to ensure the best fit. This garment is designed to be worn close to the body to maximize the effectiveness of the wicking finish, though it also functions effectively as a base layer under more substantial outerwear.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and longevity of this garment, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. We recommend a domestic wash at 30°C on a synthetic cycle. This lower temperature protects the elastane fibres and ensures the garment maintains its shape and stretch over time.
It is vital that you do not use fabric softener. Softeners coat the fibres and will effectively 'plug' the wicking channels, rendering the moisture-management properties useless. Additionally, always wash with similar colours to prevent any potential dye transfer.
Do not iron, tumble dry, or bleach this garment. High heat from irons or dryers can melt the synthetic fibres and damage the reflective elements. Allowing the garment to air dry is the best way to preserve the fabric's integrity and the quality of your custom branding.
