Product Overview
The Uneek UC601 Heavyweight Full Zip Fleece Jacket is a substantial, high-performance garment engineered for professionals who demand warmth and longevity from their workwear. As a heavyweight option in the Uneek range, it provides a thick, thermal barrier against the elements while maintaining a clean, authoritative appearance suitable for client-facing environments. This jacket is not merely a leisure item; it is a well-engineered piece of equipment designed to withstand the physical demands of active trades and outdoor logistics.
Key Features
- Super Anti-Pill Micro Fleece: The high-quality polyester fabric is treated to prevent the formation of small bobbles, ensuring the jacket remains looking professional even after frequent laundering and heavy use.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Double-stitched seams are utilised throughout to provide superior structural integrity, meaning the garment can handle the stresses of physical labour without fraying or failing.
- Zipped Security Pockets: Two self-coloured covered zipped pockets offer secure storage for essential tools or personal items, with pullers designed for easy use even when wearing gloves.
- Adjustable Fit: The inclusion of elasticated pull cords and toggles at the hem allows the wearer to customise the fit, effectively trapping heat and blocking out cold draughts.
- Cadet Style Collar: The high-neck design provides additional protection for the neck area, contributing to a smart, uniform look that bridges the gap between casual and formal workwear.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester micro fleece, the UC601 is designed for thermal efficiency. The micro fleece structure creates a dense network of air pockets that trap body heat, making it an ideal choice for cold weather or temperature-controlled environments. The heavyweight nature of the fabric provides a reassuring sense of protection and substance without feeling overly restrictive.
Attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of a half-moon yoke at the back, which provides extra reinforcement and helps the jacket retain its shape across the shoulders. The elasticated cuffs further ensure a secure fit, preventing sleeves from interfering with manual tasks while simultaneously retaining warmth.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The dense, heavyweight micro fleece of the UC601 provides an excellent canvas for customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we highly recommend embroidery. The fabric’s substantial weight supports high-stitch-count logos, allowing for intricate branding and staff names to be applied with precision and depth.
If your branding requires a larger, more vibrant application, digital printing is also a viable option. Our in-house production team in Telford, established in 1976, utilises advanced techniques to ensure your logo is applied with the highest level of care. Whether you choose the traditional finish of embroidery or the bold impact of print, we ensure your company identity is represented to a superior standard.
Use Cases
This jacket is particularly well-suited for site supervisors, delivery drivers, and maintenance engineers who require a durable outer layer that looks professional. It is equally effective as a standalone jacket in transitional weather or as a heavy mid-layer during the peak of winter. The unisex design ensures a consistent appearance across a diverse workforce.

Practical Advice
The UC601 is a generous, heavyweight garment. When choosing your size, consider what you intend to wear underneath; it fits comfortably over a standard polo shirt or sweatshirt. If you require a more streamlined fit for wear under a high-visibility coat, you may wish to check the sizing carefully to ensure it does not feel too bulky as a mid-layer.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your fleece, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures the removal of stubborn grime and bacteria encountered during the working day, which is essential for maintaining workplace hygiene standards.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the colour to fade prematurely. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment to maintain the anti-pill properties and prevent unnecessary heat damage to any custom embroidery or print. Ironing is generally not required for micro fleece, but if necessary, use a cool setting to avoid melting the synthetic fibres.
