Product Overview
The Under Armour Golf UA Storm Sweaterfleece Quarter Zip is a sophisticated hybrid garment designed to bridge the gap between a traditional sweater and a high-performance technical fleece. Crafted with a focus on versatility, it provides the aesthetic and warmth of a knit sweater with the lightweight, breathable performance of a modern fleece. The inclusion of a water-repellent finish ensures that this is not merely a fair-weather layer, but a robust piece of outerwear capable of handling the unpredictable British climate.
Key Features
- UA Storm Technology: This specialized water-repellent treatment repels moisture without sacrificing breathability, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable during light rain.
- Fluorine-Free Finish: The water-repellent coating is environmentally conscious, utilizing a fluorine-free treatment that maintains technical performance.
- Quarter-Zip Construction: The quarter-length zip allows for easy layering and quick temperature regulation, making it ideal for transitioning between different environments.
- Cationic Polyester Blend: The fabric composition ensures a durable finish with deep, consistent colour that resists fading over time.
- Stretchy Performance: Designed to move with the body, the fabric provides the necessary flexibility for active use, whether on the golf course or the worksite.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight fleece is constructed from 88% cationic polyester and 12% polyester. This specific blend is engineered to mimic the soft hand-feel of wool while offering the superior moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties of synthetic fibres. The "sweaterfleece" texture is designed to trap heat effectively without adding unnecessary bulk, providing a streamlined silhouette that fits comfortably under a heavier coat or over a polo shirt.
The performance of this garment is centred around its ability to manage temperature. The lightweight nature of the fabric prevents overheating during physical exertion, while the brushed interior provides a soft layer of insulation against the cold. It is a practical solution for those who require a professional appearance without compromising on technical functionality.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Because of the textured "sweaterfleece" surface and the technical UA Storm coating, we offer embroidery as the sole method of customisation for this garment. Embroidery is the most appropriate choice for premium knitwear and fleeces, as the stitching sits securely within the fabric pile, creating a durable and high-quality finish that print methods simply cannot replicate on this material.
Our in-house embroidery team, based in Telford, has been perfecting this craft since 1976. We ensure that every logo is digitised with precision to maintain the integrity of your brand while respecting the technical properties of the Under Armour fabric. A well-placed embroidered logo on the chest or sleeve elevates this performance garment into a professional piece of corporate attire.
Use Cases
The UA Storm Sweaterfleece is perfectly suited for corporate golf days, outdoor events, and client-facing roles where a smart-casual appearance is required. Its water-repellent properties make it a favourite for site managers and surveyors who frequently move between indoor offices and outdoor environments. Additionally, it serves as an excellent premium gifting option for staff or as part of a high-end team uniform.

Practical Advice
This garment features a performance fit that is designed to be worn over a base layer or a polo shirt. If you prefer a more relaxed or generous fit for layering over thicker shirts, you may wish to consider sizing up. The size range extends from Small to 3XL, catering to a wide variety of body types within a professional team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the integrity of the water-repellent finish, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. We recommend a cold machine wash with similar colours. Using cold water prevents the synthetic fibres from becoming heat-damaged and helps retain the garment's shape.
It is vital that you do not use fabric softeners. Softeners can coat the fibres and clog the technical UA Storm treatment, significantly reducing the garment's ability to repel water. If bleaching is necessary, use only non-chlorine bleach to avoid damaging the polyester yarns.
For drying, use a low-heat tumble dry setting. Do not iron this garment, as the high heat from a traditional iron can melt the synthetic polyester fibres and damage the embroidered branding. Dry cleaning should also be avoided, as the harsh chemicals can strip the water-repellent coating from the fabric.
