Product Overview
The Premier Selsey Hydrochecker Waterproof Jacket is a masterclass in technical outerwear for the modern workforce. Built from Premier’s proprietary Hydrochecker fabric, this jacket is specifically designed to provide a reliable barrier against heavy rain and wind. With a waterproof rating of 5000mm, it is certified to UKCA and CE EN343 standards, ensuring that you remain dry and focused regardless of the conditions. This isn't just a shell; it features a substantial microfleece lining that provides essential insulation on colder mornings, making it a versatile year-round choice for those working in exposed environments.
Key Features
- Hydrochecker Fabric with PVC Coating: This combination creates a formidable barrier against moisture, ensuring the jacket remains waterproof even during prolonged exposure.
- Fully Taped Seams: Every internal join is sealed to prevent water ingress through the stitching, reinforcing the garment’s weatherproof integrity.
- Microfleece Lining: The soft inner layer offers warmth and comfort, reducing the need for excessive layering underneath.
- Fold-away Drawcord Hood: Tucked neatly into the high-neck cadet collar, the hood provides immediate protection when a downpour starts and stays out of the way when not required.
- Secure Fleece-Lined Pockets: Both side pockets feature zip closures to keep tools or mobile devices safe, while the fleece lining helps keep hands warm between tasks.
- Adjustable Hook and Loop Cuffs: These allow for a secure fit around the wrists or over gloves, effectively blocking out wind and rain.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Selsey jacket. The outer 100% waterproof polyester is sturdy and resilient, capable of withstanding the daily abrasions typical of active trade roles. The inclusion of a full zip-through front with a storm flap ensures that wind cannot penetrate the fastening, while the part-elasticated hem creates a tailored fit that retains body heat. The jacket feels substantial without being overly restrictive, offering the mobility required for manual labor.
The design also considers the practicalities of a working day, including a handy inner patch pocket for personal items and a high collar that protects the neck from cold draughts. It is a well-engineered garment that prioritises the wearer's comfort without sacrificing its professional aesthetic.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Selsey jacket is an ideal canvas for corporate branding. It features a cleverly designed hidden zip for embroidery access, allowing our technicians to apply your logo through the outer fabric without stitching through the fleece lining. This ensures a clean finish on the inside and maintains the garment's insulation properties.
For a traditional and durable professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for chest logos or staff names. However, the polyester outer also accommodates high-quality print, which is particularly effective for larger, high-visibility branding on the back. Our in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, will ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for professionals in the construction, plumbing, and landscaping sectors who require a uniform that can handle the elements. Its smart design also makes it appropriate for site managers, surveyors, and delivery personnel who need to maintain a professional image while moving between the office and the outdoors.

Practical Advice
The Selsey jacket offers a generous fit to accommodate base layers and sweatshirts. We recommend checking the sizing guide carefully, especially if you intend to wear it over bulky winter knitwear. The wide size range from XS to 5XL ensures that all members of your team can be outfitted in matching, high-quality gear.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance waterproof coating and the integrity of the taped seams, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Using a gentle cycle helps preserve the fabric's technical properties and keeps your custom branding looking sharp for longer.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the polyester fibres and degrade the waterproof PVC coating. Similarly, do not iron or tumble dry this garment; high heat can melt the waterproof backing and damage the internal fleece. For best results, allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Dry cleaning should also be avoided, as the chemicals used can strip the waterproof finish from the Hydrochecker fabric.
