Product Overview
The Under Armour Rival fleece full-zip hoodie is a versatile mid-layer designed for those who require a balance of athletic performance and everyday comfort. This garment transitions seamlessly from a cooling-down session to a professional workspace, offering a clean, athletic silhouette that accommodates various body types. The full-zip design allows for easy temperature regulation, making it a practical choice for dynamic environments where conditions may fluctuate throughout the day. Whether used as a standalone outer layer or a thermal mid-layer, it provides consistent warmth without compromising on range of movement.
Key Features
Brushed Fleece Interior: The internal fabric is brushed to create a soft loft that traps heat effectively, ensuring you remain warm in cooler conditions without the need for a heavy coat.
Open Hand Pockets: Conveniently located for quick access, these pockets provide a warm refuge for hands or a secure place for non-critical items during transit.
Ribbed Cuffs and Bottom Hem: These elements ensure the hoodie maintains its shape over time and stays in place during physical activity, effectively blocking out draughts.
Full-Zip Closure: Offers complete control over ventilation and allows for quick removal, which is particularly useful when moving between outdoor sites and indoor offices.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, this medium-weight hoodie is engineered for durability and daily wear. The high cotton content provides a natural, breathable feel against the skin, while the polyester integration ensures the garment retains its structure and resists stretching or shrinking after repeated use. The ultra-soft finish is designed to reduce friction, making it an excellent choice for layering over t-shirts or technical base layers. Performance-wise, the fabric manages moisture effectively, keeping the wearer comfortable during light physical exertion or while working in temperature-controlled environments.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
We recommend embroidery as the exclusive method for branding this Under Armour hoodie. The plush, brushed fleece texture of the fabric is ideally suited to high-quality needlework, which sits firmly within the pile rather than sitting on top of it as a print would. Our in-house embroidery team, based in Telford since 1976, utilises industrial-grade machinery to ensure your company logo is rendered with precision and depth. Embroidery provides a professional, three-dimensional finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear and frequent washing far better than other branding methods on this specific fabric type.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an ideal choice for sports coaching staff, personal trainers, or site supervisors who require a professional yet athletic appearance. It also serves as an excellent corporate uniform for office-based teams who appreciate a more relaxed dress code without sacrificing brand identity. Its lightweight yet warm nature makes it suitable for spring and autumn outdoor work or as a reliable mid-layer during the colder winter months for those in the transport or logistics sectors.

Practical Advice
This hoodie features a standard athletic fit. We recommend referring to the chest measurements provided—ranging from Small at 34/36" to 3XL at 52/54"—to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for a base layer underneath. For those working in active roles, your usual size should provide ample room for movement; however, if you are between sizes and prefer a more relaxed feel for manual tasks, choosing the larger size may be beneficial.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your embroidered hoodie, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. Proper maintenance ensures the cotton-blend fabric remains soft and the embroidered logo stays crisp over many months of use.
We recommend a cold machine wash with similar colours. Using cold water prevents the cotton fibres from shrinking and protects the vibrancy of the fabric dye. Ensure you do not use fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and reduce the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester blend, while also potentially loosening the tension of the embroidery stitches over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, which will weaken the fabric structure and cause permanent discolouration. This garment should not be ironed; the heat from a domestic iron can flatten the brushed fleece interior and could potentially melt the synthetic threads used in your embroidered logo. Finally, do not dry clean, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can degrade the fabric's soft finish and affect the garment's overall lifespan.
