Why choose zip hoodies over pullover hoodies for kids?
Kids zip hoodies are brilliant for convenience! That full front zip means no struggling to get them on or off, no messed-up hair, and easy temperature control. Perfect for Reading children who need to layer for changing weather or remove them quickly during PE lessons. Parents love the practical design!
Are full zip hoodies better for active children?
Absolutely! Custom kids zip hoodies are perfect for active Reading children. They can unzip for cooling down during playground activities, then zip back up when the wind picks up. The zip design also makes them easier to put on over sports kit or school uniforms without the hassle.
Can you print designs on zip hoodies without affecting the zip?
Yes! We're experts at printing custom kids zip hoodies. We carefully position designs to work around the zip area, often using creative split designs or placing logos strategically. The zip functionality remains perfect while your design looks fantastic. We'll show you exactly how it'll look at our Reading studio.
How do you care for printed zip hoodies?
Simple care keeps your custom zip hoodies looking great! Always zip them up before washing, turn inside-out, and wash in cool water. This protects both the zip and the print. Air dry when possible, and the prints will stay vibrant through countless Reading adventures!
Do Reading schools allow zip hoodies as uniform?
Many Reading schools do allow zip hoodies, especially for outdoor activities and PE. Each school has different policies, so we recommend checking with your specific school. We work with several local Reading schools and can advise on uniform-appropriate designs and colours for zip hoodies.
What's the weight difference between pullover and zip hoodies?
Full zip hoodies are slightly heavier due to the zip hardware, but the 300 GSM weight still provides excellent comfort. The extra weight is barely noticeable to children, and the convenience benefits far outweigh the minimal weight difference. Reading parents consistently prefer the zip option for practicality.
Can you add names to kids zip hoodies?
Of course! We love personalising kids zip hoodies with names, making them perfect for Reading school trips, sports teams, or just to prevent mix-ups. Names can go on the chest, back, or even the zip pull area. Each child gets their own unique hoodie that they'll treasure!
Are zip hoodies suitable for sports teams?
Perfect for sports teams! Custom kids zip hoodies work brilliantly as warm-up gear that players can quickly remove before games. Many Reading youth football clubs and athletics teams choose zip hoodies for this exact reason. Easy to get team logos printed across the chest and back too!
