Russell Athletic Quarter-Zip Outdoor Fleece (8740M) | Embroidered Quarter-Zip Fleeces
£22.98 GBP
Product Description
The Quarter-Zip Outdoor Fleece (8740M) proves an exceptionally comfortable, cosy outdoor fleece can still look sleek and smart — modern, compact fleece fabric gives genuine wind and chill protection with a noticeably smoother, more contemporary finish than a traditional bulky fleece.
Made from 100% polyester anti-pill fleece at 320gsm, it has a cadet collar, 1/4 zip, panelled construction, side pockets with reversed zips and inner mesh lining, cord pulls on all zips, and a bungee cord in the hem. Stocked in 6 colours from XS to 2XL.
What Sets the 8740M Apart
A Dense, Compact Pile
Modern compact fleece fabric gives improved wearer warmth and a smoother surface for decoration than traditional bulky fleece materials.
Genuinely Practical Storage
Side pockets with reversed zips and inner mesh lining offer real, secure storage rather than a decorative pocket detail.
A Considered, Adjustable Fit
Cord pulls on all zips and a bungee cord in the hem let the wearer adjust fit and warmth through the day.
Panelled for a Modern Look
Panelled construction gives a slimmer, sleeker silhouette that nods to the fleece's sportswear heritage, rather than a plain traditional cut.
Ideal For
- Outdoor trade and site teams
- Facilities and grounds staff
- Corporate outdoor workwear
- Sports clubs and outdoor leisure
- Layering under a waterproof shell
