Gildan Full Zip Hoodies & Zippered Fleece

Gildan full zip hoodies are specifically engineered to accommodate customisation. Models like the GI18600 feature overlapped fabric across the metal zipper, which provides a smooth, continuous surface for full-chest screen printing or digital transfers. This design ensures that your artwork remains cohesive even with a zippered front. Whether you are looking for a custom fleece for a brand launch or promotional fleece for an event, these garments provide the ideal canvas. The high cotton content in the 50/50 blend ensures that inks adhere well and colours remain vibrant after multiple washes, making them a top choice for professional printers and DIY creators alike.

Most of the Gildan zippered hoodies in our collection, such as the GN960 and the 18600, feature a substantial fabric weight of approximately 270 gsm. This categorises them as heavyweight fleece apparel, providing excellent warmth and a premium feel without being overly bulky. The 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend is chosen for its balance of comfort and structural integrity. The polyester provides the necessary strength and shrink resistance, while the cotton offers breathability and a soft touch against the skin. This weight is perfect for year-round layering in the UK climate, serving as a reliable fleece top for outdoor activities or a comfortable indoor layer.

Durability is a hallmark of the Gildan brand, particularly in their zippered fleece sweatshirt range. These hoodies are constructed using air jet yarn, which is specifically designed to provide a softer feel while significantly reducing pilling—the small bobbles that can appear on fabric over time. Additionally, many styles feature double-needle stitching at the shoulders, armholes, neck, waistband, and cuffs, ensuring the garment holds its shape through heavy use. The use of high-quality YKK metal zippers further enhances the longevity of the product, providing smooth operation for daily wear. This makes them an excellent investment for business procurement or retail environments where quality is paramount.
