Gildan G995 - Unisex Performance® Tech Hoodie - Black

The Gildan G995, catalogued as the 99500 Performance Tech Hoodie, is a 7 oz 100% filament polyester pullover built for moisture-wicking athletic and team programs. The all-poly construction opens the full sublimation colour gamut, a capability that cotton-blend hoodies like the G185 Heavy Blend cannot offer. Filament polyester also means zero dye migration risk on dark grounds, no poly-block needed, and no cure-temperature anxiety, because there is no cotton to protect. For shops running sublimated hoodies for sports teams, esports, dance squads, or spirit wear, the G995 is the substrate that prints edge-to-edge continuous tone without the colour shift that plagues 50/50 blends.

Sublimation is the standout method on this hoodie. The 100% filament polyester accepts disperse dye at full saturation across the entire colour range, delivering photographic and all-over prints that are impossible on cotton-content fleece. Press at the ink manufacturer's recommended time and temperature, and the transfer locks into the fibre permanently with no hand, no cracking, and no peeling. For DTF, the polyester surface bonds cleanly with transfer adhesive at standard press settings; DTF is the practical route when the artwork uses spot colour or the order volume does not justify sublimation setup. For screen printing, plastisol prints clean on the filament face without a poly-block or underbase on light colours; on dark Sport colours, a standard white underbase produces sharp coverage. The 7 oz weight sits stable on the platen for front, back, and sleeve placements. For embroidery, the 7 oz body supports left-chest and full-back placements with a cut-away backing; the unlined hood allows both exterior and interior hood embroidery, unlike double-lined fleece hoods.

The G995 fills a gap in the Gildan hoodie lineup that the cotton-blend Heavy Blend and Softstyle lines cannot cover: full-colour sublimation on a performance fleece. The moisture-management finish wicks during wear, and the anti-microbial treatment controls odour, both properties that matter for athletic team programs where the hoodie travels from the bench to the bus. The rolled forward shoulder keeps the seam off the shoulder cap for a cleaner fit on the field or court. For reorders, 100% polyester holds colour and sizing more consistently across production runs than cotton blends, because polyester does not shrink or shift between dye lots. Fleece hoodies pack fewer units per case than lightweight tees, so confirm the units per case for your colour and size before placing a large mixed-size order.
