Engineered for Performance

The Gildan Heavy Blend Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt is a versatile anchor piece for any corporate uniform or promotional range. Constructed from a heavyweight blend (up to 279gsm), it offers substantial warmth and durability. The defining technical feature of this garment is the overlapped fabric across the metal zipper. This innovative design detail allows for full-front printing, maximizing the branding area and ensuring that your logo or design remains uninterrupted and impactful. The air jet yarn technology ensures the fabric surface remains smooth and resistant to pilling, maintaining a professional aesthetic even after months of daily wear. The twin-needle stitching and set-in sleeves provide structural integrity, making it capable of withstanding the physical demands of active job roles. For a smart, layered professional look, this zip hoodie can be worn over our Polo Shirts, allowing staff to regulate their temperature easily by zipping up or down as conditions change.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed for the modern workforce, this full-zip hoodie combines the ease of a jacket with the comfort of a sweatshirt. The unlined hood reduces bulk, making it lighter and more comfortable for indoor wear or active shifts, while still providing coverage when needed. The 1x1 rib cuffs and waistband with elastane ensure a secure, draught-free fit that moves with the wearer. The soft brushed interior provides a layer of insulation that is comforting during early morning starts or cold warehouse shifts. The inclusion of deep pouch pockets adds practical functionality, giving staff a place to warm their hands or store keys and scanners. Its pre-shrunk fleece composition ensures the sizing stays true, providing a consistent fit for your entire team. This garment is the epitome of adaptable workwear, suitable for transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments seamlessly.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Delivery drivers and logistics personnel.
• Retail staff requiring adaptable layering.
• Event management teams and promotional staff.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The overlapped zipper fabric is a game-changer for large format printing, allowing for bold designs across the chest. Available in 14 classic colours, you can easily style alongside T-Shirts for a complete, branded employee package.
