Custom Realtree RT5302 Camo Performance Hoodie With Your Logo
Share
For outfitters, shops and outdoor crews who want a camo hoodie with their logo, the Realtree RT5302 Unisex Realtree Performance Hooded Sweatshirt is a strong pick. It is a pullover hoodie in Realtree APX camo with moisture management and UPF 30+ protection, so it works for early mornings in the field and cool evenings in camp. Because it is polyester rather than cotton fleece, it calls for the right inks and backing. Battle Born Clothing decorates it in-house in Yerington, Nevada, and ships anywhere in the US.

- Hood: Double-lined with corded drawcords.
- Pocket and cuffs: Front pouch pocket and knit sleeve cuffs.

Best decoration method
Like any camo polyester garment, this hoodie has a dye migration risk: when heated, the dyes in the fabric can bleed into ink and tint a light logo. We choose methods and inks that prevent that.
Embroidery
Embroidery is a great choice on this hoodie, especially for a left-chest logo. Because the 6.5 oz. interlock has a smooth face instead of a deep fleece pile, it holds detail better than a traditional fleece sweatshirt, and dye migration is not a concern with thread. We back it so the stitches stay flat, keep stitch counts reasonable, and still suggest avoiding very tiny text since the busy camo can hide fine detail.
Screen printing with polyester-safe inks
For larger runs, screen printing works with low-cure or bleed-blocker inks that keep the camo dyes out of your print. Screen printing has no hard minimum, but 48+ pieces per design is recommended. Discharge and most water-based inks are built for cotton, so we do not use them on 100% polyester.
DTF transfers
DTF works well on camo polyester, handles full-color logos and has no minimum. It is a popular option for big back designs on small orders.
Placement suggestions
- Left chest: About 3.5 to 4 in. wide.
- Center chest: Above the pouch pocket, typically up to about 10 to 11 in. wide so the art clears the pocket.
- Full back: Large designs for events and outfitters.
- Sleeve: A small mark, web address or flag on the upper sleeve.
Caveats
- The pouch pocket limits how low a center chest design can go.
- Camo is a busy background, so bold, simple shapes and strong colors like white, blaze orange or black show up best.
