KingGee: K55040 Reflective 1/4 Zip Fleece

KingGee: K55040 Reflective 1/4 Zip Fleece

When the cold hits on site and you’re gearing up for a long day outdoors, having the right mid-layer can make all the difference. The KingGee K55040 Reflective 1/4 Zip Fleece is one of those reliable, no-nonsense pieces of gear that trades warmth, durability and practicality in equal measure. Whether you’re clocking in before sunrise, working through frosty mornings, or dealing with unpredictable weather, this fleece is designed to keep you comfortable, productive and visible throughout the day.

This pullover is made from 100% polyester with a 320gsm brushed fleece, giving you that ideal combination of softness, warmth and toughness. The brushed interior traps heat without feeling itchy or bulky, making it perfect as a go-to layer during winter or those chilly shoulder-season months. It’s warm enough to wear on its own during cooler mornings, yet breathable enough that you won’t feel weighed down or overheated when you’re on the move.

One of the most practical features of the K55040 is its front kangaroo pocket, the classic fleece addition that provides instant hand warmth and easy access storage. Whether you’re keeping your hands warm between tasks or need quick space for gloves, tape or small bits of gear, the pocket is roomy and well positioned. Paired with it is a welt phone pocket, tucked neatly to keep your mobile secure and within reach. This is especially handy on busy worksites where you don’t want to risk your phone slipping out when bending, lifting or climbing ladders.

For extra function and comfort, the fleece includes a stand collar with a 1/4 zip neck opening. Zip it all the way up when you need protection from the wind, or leave it slightly open if you’re warming up or working hard. The 1/4 zip style makes it easy to put on and take off, and it gives the garment a neat, professional finish that suits both labouring roles and supervisory positions. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in day-to-day wearability.

The rib hem and cuffs add even more practicality by helping seal in warmth and ensuring the fleece sits properly while you work. They prevent the sleeves from riding up, keep the cold out, and maintain a snug yet comfortable fit throughout the day. If you’ve ever dealt with loose cuffs or cold drafts creeping up your arms, you’ll know why this feature matters.

Safety remains a priority on any Aussie worksite, and KingGee has ticked this box with its Stretch 50mm ReflecTEC tape. This reflective tape is designed to move with you, so it doesn’t stiffen the garment or limit your range of motion. Whether you’re working around vehicles, machinery or in low-light environments, the reflective detailing ensures you stay visible and compliant. The stretch element also means it holds up to bending, stretching and repeated wear without peeling or cracking.

Adding to the practical worksite design is the twin pen pocket on the sleeve. Perfect for supervisors, machine operators, logistics crews or anyone who relies on quick note-taking, this pocket keeps your pens right where you need them. No more digging around in your pockets or searching the ute for a spare.

All in all, the KingGee K55040 Reflective 1/4 Zip Fleece is the perfect blend of warmth, durability and everyday functionality. It’s tough enough to handle the demands of physical work, comfortable enough for long shifts, and fitted with reflective safety features that suit a wide range of job roles. Whether you’re out in the elements, on the move all day or working early-morning shifts, this fleece provides the warmth and reliability you need. It’s a solid, dependable addition to any workwear kit—built for real Aussie conditions, and built to last.
