Product Overview
The Tee Jays Lightweight Performance Soft Shell Jacket is a sophisticated garment designed for professionals who require a balance of weather protection and a refined aesthetic. Constructed with a technical three-layer stretch fabric, this jacket is engineered to move with the wearer while providing a formidable barrier against the elements. Its lightweight nature makes it an ideal choice for transitional seasons or active roles where a heavy coat would be restrictive, ensuring you remain comfortable and focused throughout the working day.
Key Features
- High-performance TPU membrane provides a waterproof rating of 8000mm and windproof protection, ensuring you stay dry and shielded in unpredictable weather.
- Breathable fabric (6000g) allows moisture and heat to escape, preventing the build-up of perspiration during physically demanding tasks.
- Polyester fleece backing offers a soft interior layer that provides essential insulation without adding unnecessary bulk.
- The shaped fit provides a modern, professional silhouette that looks superior to standard, boxy outerwear options.
- Functional zip storage, including a waterproof zip pocket on the left sleeve and two front pockets, ensures your tools and essentials remain secure and dry.
- A drawcord hem and elasticated bound cuffs allow for a tailored fit, helping to trap heat and block out cold draughts.
Design & Performance
The performance of this jacket lies in its advanced material composition. By blending 95% polyester with 5% spandex, Tee Jays has created an outer shell that offers significant flexibility. This stretch is crucial for tradespeople and professionals who need a full range of movement without the fabric resisting or pulling. The addition of a transparent TPU membrane adds a technical layer of protection that is both waterproof and windproof, yet remains remarkably breathable.
Attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of a chin guard and an inner zip guard, which prevent the low-profile black zip from causing irritation. The branded zip pulls add a touch of quality, while the overall construction meets the OEKO-TEX Standard 100, certifying that no harmful substances were used in its production.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This lightweight soft shell is a versatile canvas for your company branding. The smooth outer fabric is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a traditional, professional appearance that withstands the rigours of daily wear, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names. The dense weave of the three-layer fabric supports complex stitching exceptionally well.
Alternatively, heat-sealed printing is an excellent choice for larger back designs or bold promotional messaging, providing a crisp and vibrant finish. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on MyWorkwear’s heritage that stretches back to 1976 to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for corporate environments where a professional image is paramount, such as site visits, customer-facing roles, or management uniform. Its technical attributes also make it a reliable choice for the retail sector and general workwear solutions where staff require protection from wind and light rain without the weight of a heavy winter parka.

Practical Advice
As a lightweight soft shell, this garment is designed with a shaped fit. If you intend to wear it over multiple layers, such as a thick sweatshirt or jumper, you may wish to consider your sizing requirements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. For the best thermal performance, pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer to take full advantage of the jacket's breathable membrane.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the technical TPU membrane is essential for ensuring the jacket continues to provide waterproof and windproof protection. Following the manufacturer’s care instructions is vital; failing to do so can damage the membrane and reduce the garment's breathability, eventually leading to a loss of performance in the field.
The BSCI and OEKO-TEX certifications reflect the high ethical and safety standards of this jacket. By caring for the fabric correctly, you preserve these qualities and ensure the garment remains a reliable part of your professional wardrobe for a significant period. Always refer to the internal labels for specific guidance on maintaining the polyester and spandex blend.
