Product Description

The premium sustainable zip-up hoodie. Printed in Canada with no minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.
Fabric & Construction
- 70/20/10 combed ring spun cotton/recycled polyester/polyester: cotton-dominant with recycled content (Heather Grey is 65/25/10)
- 7.6 oz/yd² (US) / 11.7 oz/linear yard (CA): heavyweight premium fleece
- 31-single combed ring spun cotton: finer yarn count for an exceptionally smooth, soft surface
- Recycled polyester content: made from post-consumer recycled materials

RF497 Full-Zip vs RF498 Pullover: Which ReFlex Hoodie?
- Same fabric: Identical 70/20/10 blend, same 31-single ring spun softness, same recycled content
- Zipper convenience: The RF497 is easier to put on/off, better for layering and temperature control throughout the day
- Print area: The RF498 pullover offers a larger uninterrupted front print area. The RF497's zipper splits the front, left-chest and back prints are most popular
- Pockets: The RF498 has a single kangaroo pouch; the RF497 has two split pockets, more practical for everyday carry
- Style: Pullover reads more casual/streetwear; full-zip reads slightly more polished and professional
- Embroidery: Both are excellent, the RF497 is especially popular for left-chest corporate embroidery
Best Print Methods for the RF497
- Embroidery: the top choice for full-zip hoodies. Left-chest embroidery paired with the premium fabric creates an executive-level look. The smooth 31-single surface provides excellent stitch definition.
- Screen Printing: outstanding on back panels and left chest. The ring spun surface produces sharp, detailed prints. Avoid printing across the zipper.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film): works on all colours with vibrant full-colour results.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl: clean results for logos and text.
