Sport-Tek ST491 Versa 1/4-Zip

Wholesale Sport-Tek ST491 Versa 1/4-Zip Performance Pullover

The Sport-Tek ST491 Versa 1/4-Zip is a soft, stretch performance layer built for corporate uniform buyers, resort and outdoor programs, and team dealers who want an everyday quarter-zip with a sustainability story. Made from recycled polyester, the ST491 pairs a super-soft hand with real performance, so it works as a staff layer, a golf-outing piece, or a spirit-wear pullover from one blank. Buyers who stock the Pro Perform 1/4-Zip reach for the Versa when they want a lighter, softer feel.

Sport-Tek designed the ST491 with moisture-wicking, UV-shielding, and odor-fighting properties, which makes it a versatile answer for programs that live outdoors. For distributors building Sport-Tek activewear offerings, the Versa quarter-zip is the soft-stretch anchor that upgrades a basic layer while carrying a recycled-content message buyers increasingly ask for.

Because it reads as premium athleisure and layers cleanly over a polo or tee, the ST491 fits corporate, hospitality, and athletic accounts alike. A dealer can anchor a coordinated program on it and step customers toward the matching Versa pullover hoodie for a hooded option in the same recycled fabric. It is the kind of piece a dealer can put in front of very different accounts, from a law firm to a landscaping crew, and have it land as the right layer for each.

Fabric and Construction Overview

The quarter-zip is knit from a 4.9-ounce 89/11 recycled polyester and spandex blend, with a 5.6-ounce 85/15 recycled build on White, giving a soft, stretchy hand that moves with the wearer. The recycled polyester delivers the sustainability angle without giving up performance, and the fabric wicks moisture during activity.

Performance features carry through the everyday build. A UPF rating of 30 shields against UV on outdoor programs, odor-fighting treatment keeps the layer fresh through repeat wear, and forward shoulder seams plus stretch binding at the sleeve hems give a clean, athletic line. Buyers who also stock the Pro Perform 1/4-Zip can offer a firmer double-knit alongside this softer option.

Durability under program use is a core selling point: the recycled knit resists the wear that flattens lesser soft-hand fabrics, so a quarter-zip issued to staff or a team still looks and feels premium months into a program. The odor-fighting and moisture-wicking properties hold through repeated laundering, which matters most for accounts where the same layer is worn week after week. Pairing it with the Versa hoodie gives a program a coordinated soft-stretch set in one recycled fabric family.

Decoration Compatibility and Print Performance

The quarter-zip is a clean embroidery and heat-transfer blank. The smooth, stable face gives thread a good base for left-chest logos and sleeve marks, and the soft stretch does not distort a centered crest. The quarter-zip placket keeps the left chest open for a clean corporate or team logo placement.

For programs that personalize, the surface takes names and titles cleanly, which suits staff and roster orders. Decorators often run the quarter-zip beside the women's Versa 1/4-Zip so a co-ed account gets matching decoration across both cuts.

Because the Versa ships in a versatile color range and reads as premium, it slots into a wider set of wholesale quarter-zip layers a dealer keeps for corporate and resort accounts. Consistent color and a stable decoration surface keep reorders predictable across a season, which is what turns a first order into a standing program built around one soft-stretch quarter-zip.

Wholesale and Program Buying Advantages

For wholesale buyers, the quarter-zip is the soft-stretch, recycled-content quarter-zip in a Sport-Tek activewear ladder. It gives corporate, hospitality, and athletic accounts a versatile everyday layer with a sustainability message, stepping alongside firmer options like the Pro Perform 1/4-Zip so a dealer can match feel to the account.

Deep size runs and consistent case packs make the quarter-zip practical for staff rollouts, golf outings, and team orders that reorder through the year. The recycled-content story also helps a dealer win accounts with sustainability requirements, which is an increasingly common line item on corporate and institutional buys.

Building a coordinated Versa program around the quarter-zip and the matching Versa hoodie lets an account tier its offering while keeping one soft fabric, one color card, and one decoration setup, and pointing the buyer to the Sport-Tek activewear collection surfaces the adjacent pieces that round out the program.

A dealer who keeps the Versa quarter-zip in depth can quote it into corporate, hospitality, resort, and athletic accounts alike, since one soft-stretch recycled blank answers all of them. That range is what makes it a catalog staple rather than a seasonal buy, and holding core colors in stock protects a program from the color drift that appears when reorders arrive from mixed lots months apart.
