Description
The Gildan G125 DryBlend is a 9 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester pullover hoodie with DryBlend moisture-wicking and air-jet MVS spun yarn for a smoother print surface and reduced pilling. It is Gildan's heavier, moisture-wicking alternative to the G185 Heavy Blend hoodie: the DryBlend fabric wicks sweat and the MVS yarn reduces surface fuzz for a cleaner print face, while the 9 oz weight gives it a fuller, heavier body than the 8 oz G185. The tradeoff is price. The G125 runs at roughly 60% more per unit than the G185, so it earns its place only when the program needs the heavier weight, the moisture-wicking, or the smoother MVS print surface.
The decoration strategy on the G125 follows the same 50/50 rules as other DryBlend garments. For DTF transfers, the 50/50 blend bonds well with transfer adhesives and the DryBlend surface seats the film cleanly. Press at the lower end of the temperature range on coloured garments to prevent dye migration from the polyester content. For screen printing, plastisol prints with reliable holdout on the MVS yarn surface, which reduces fibre fly-back on press. On coloured G125 garments, the 50% polyester carries dye migration risk, so use a poly-blocking underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature. For embroidery, the 9 oz fleece is an excellent substrate weight, heavy enough for dense left-chest, full-front, and back placements without extra backing on standard stitch counts. The double-lined hood and pouch pocket add structure. For vinyl/HTV, the DryBlend surface holds vinyl at standard settings. The Safety Green colourway is ANSI/ISEA 107 hi-vis compliant for workwear programs.

The G125 sits above the G185 Heavy Blend on both weight and price. If your program values moisture-wicking, a smoother MVS print face, and 1 oz more weight in the hand, the G125 justifies the premium. If unit cost is the deciding factor and a standard 50/50 fleece surface is acceptable, the G185 delivers at roughly 60% less per unit on the same 50/50 substrate.
