Designed with a versatile crew neck and a medium-weight handle, this garment is as much a statement of intent regarding sustainability as it is a practical addition to a professional uniform or leisure wardrobe.

Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of 60% cotton and 40% recycled polyester (with a composition of 90% cotton and 10% viscose for heather variations), this sweatshirt offers a sturdy, medium-weight feel that provides warmth without unnecessary bulk. The brushed fleece lining is particularly effective at trapping air, making it a reliable choice for cooler environments where maintaining body temperature is essential. The fabric's durability is backed by several international accreditations, including SEDEX and WRAP, ensuring that it meets high ethical and environmental standards. The garment is engineered to maintain its shape even after repeated wear, making it a dependable choice for those who require their workwear to perform consistently.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt serves as an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a sophisticated and enduring appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses precision machinery to apply your logo or company name, creating a tactile finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear. The sweatshirt’s construction ensures the embroidery sits flat and remains secure.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the fabric is well-suited for large, impactful printed designs. Because of the polyester content, our technical experts recommend using block-out vinyl or specialist inks to ensure the vibrancy of the print remains unaffected by the fabric's dye. At MyWorkwear, we have been perfecting these customisation techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with the utmost care and technical expertise by our in-house team.
Use Cases
The TriDri Recycled Chill Zip Sweatshirt is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is an ideal choice for team uniforms in the sports and leisure industry, or as a more relaxed alternative to traditional corporate wear. Its sustainable credentials also make it a popular choice for businesses focused on eco-friendly gifting or staff rewards. With a broad size range from XXS to 4XL, it is an inclusive option for entire workforces across various sectors.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, please refer to our sizing guide, which covers UK sizes 6 through 22. This sweatshirt features a classic fit, but the side zips offer flexibility; unzipping them can provide a more relaxed drape when layering over thicker base layers. If you are between sizes and intend to wear this as an outer layer, you may wish to opt for the larger size for enhanced comfort and mobility.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your sweatshirt, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions provided. A standard machine wash at 40°C is recommended to remove dirt and oils without damaging the recycled fibres or the integrity of your custom branding. We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect the outer surface and any applied customisation from abrasion during the wash cycle.
We advise against the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the fabric's structure and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your logo. Similarly, the garment should not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals used in that process can be too aggressive for the fabric blend.
This garment should be line dried rather than placed in a tumble dryer. Excessive heat in a dryer can cause shrinkage and may damage printed designs or cause embroidery to pucker. A warm iron may be used to remove creases, but care should be taken to avoid ironing directly over any printed areas to prevent the design from melting or peeling.
