Quick Answer

The AS Colour 5170 Relax Faded Zip Hood is a premium hoodies made for custom decoration. Made of 80% Cotton, 20% Recycled Polyester Fleece, it is intended for screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and other custom branding, and is a fit for apparel brands, uniform and team programs, events and retail merch. It is offered in 2 colourways across 2XL, 3XL, L, M, S, XL.

Construction & Materials

The Relax Faded Zip Hood is made from 80% Cotton, 20% Recycled Polyester Fleece at 320 GSM. The recycled content lets sustainability-focused programs cut new-material use without giving up a decorator-friendly surface. The fleece construction adds warmth and structure, holding embroidery and prints without distortion through repeat wear. The value here is repeatability: a stable build means the print or stitch you approve on the first run is the print or stitch you get on the fifth.

Fit, Sizing & Colour Range

The 5170 is offered in 2XL, 3XL, L, M, S, XL. It comes in 2 colourways, giving programs room to match team, brand or seasonal palettes while keeping one consistent base style. Standardizing on one style across colours means a single approval covers the whole range, and top-ups slot straight back into the same program.

Available Colours

The 5170 is stocked in 2 colourways: Faded Black, Faded Grey. Running one style across this colour range lets a program cover multiple teams, brands or seasonal looks while keeping a single, consistent decoration base.

Decoration Compatibility

This is where the Relax Faded Zip Hood shines: AS Colour styles are made to be decorated, and Relax Faded Zip Hood takes ink and thread cleanly so your artwork looks its best. It is suited to screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and embroidery. A smooth, consistent surface gives screen printers clean registration and gives embroiderers a stable base for dense stitch counts. For DTG, lighter and mid grounds reproduce colour especially well, while darker grounds benefit from a white underbase. Always run a pre-production sample to lock in placement and finish before a full decoration run.

• Screen printing: best for bold, high-volume runs with a limited colour count; the even surface holds crisp edges.
• DTG: ideal for full-colour or photographic art in shorter runs; lighter grounds reproduce colour with the least ink build.
• Embroidery: a premium, durable finish for logos and left-chest marks; confirm stitch density suits the fabric weight.

Where This Style Fits

Wholesale & Program Buying

Joe’s USA carries the AS Colour 5170 for wholesale and program buyers who reorder the same style across a season or a product line.

It sits alongside the full AS Colour Hoodies range and the broader AS Colour catalog for mixed orders.

Buyer & Reorder Workflow

A typical workflow: confirm the 5170 spec and colourway, run a decorated sample, approve placement, then schedule the main run — and keep that approval on file so reorders drop straight back in. Because the style is held consistent, later top-ups match the original without a fresh proofing cycle.
