Product Overview
The Tee Jays Lite Hooded Jacket represents a sophisticated approach to midweight outerwear, blending environmental responsibility with professional-grade performance. Constructed with a recycled matte textured ripstop polyester outer, this jacket provides a resilient barrier against the elements while maintaining a refined, retail-ready aesthetic. The integration of DuPont™ padding ensures exceptional thermal regulation, providing warmth without the excessive weight often associated with heavy padded jackets. Whether utilised for corporate casual wear or active outdoor leisure, this garment is engineered for durability and consistent comfort.
Key Features
- DuPont™ Padding: This high-quality insulation provides reliable warmth and loft, ensuring the wearer remains comfortable in cooler temperatures without compromising movement.
- Recycled Ripstop Outer: The matte textured polyester is not only sustainable but also features a ripstop weave, which prevents small snags from developing into larger tears.
- Showerproof Protection: The fabric is treated to repel light rain, keeping the wearer dry during unpredictable weather transitions.
- Full-Length SBS Zip: Equipped with a chin guard and inner zip guard, this high-quality zip system prevents skin irritation and blocks wind ingress.
- Functional Storage: Includes two secure front zip pockets and an internal pocket for the safe storage of essential tools or personal devices.
- Adjustable Elements: A drawcord hem and bound elasticated cuffs allow for a tailored fit that effectively seals in heat.
Design & Performance
The technical architecture of this jacket focuses on longevity and functional design. The ripstop polyester outer is specifically chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of daily work environments. Inside, the recycled 380T nylon lining provides a smooth interface for layering over other garments, reducing friction and improving mobility. The grown-on hood is designed with a bound opening to maintain its shape and provide consistent coverage without the need for constant adjustment. This is a midweight garment that balances the requirement for protection with the necessity of breathability.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The matte texture of the Tee Jays Lite Hooded Jacket makes it an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a traditional and highly durable professional appearance, embroidery is recommended for company logos on the chest or sleeves. The stable midweight fabric supports high-stitch-count designs without puckering.
Alternatively, for larger branding requirements, our specialist print techniques can be applied to the back or chest. Our in-house production team, established in Telford since 1976, manages the entire customisation process to ensure your branding meets our rigorous quality standards. The ripstop texture provides a modern, technical backdrop for sharp, high-contrast prints.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for corporate casual uniforms where a professional yet contemporary look is required. Its performance features, such as the showerproof finish and DuPont insulation, also make it a primary choice for outdoor leisure, sailing, or winter sports staff. It is a versatile solution for businesses looking to provide high-quality, sustainable outerwear to their teams.

Practical Advice
As a midweight jacket, this garment is designed for versatility. It works effectively as a standalone outer layer in transitional seasons or as part of a layering system in more extreme conditions. When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath; the drawcord hem allows you to pull the jacket closer to the body to prevent heat loss on particularly windy days.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of your jacket ensures it continues to perform as intended. Regular cleaning is necessary to prevent dirt from clogging the pores of the showerproof finish, which can lead to the fabric 'wetting out' rather than repelling water.
We recommend following the internal care label strictly to preserve the loft of the DuPont padding. High-heat drying should be avoided, as it can damage the synthetic fibres and the recycled lining, potentially compromising the garment's thermal efficiency and shape. Proper care will also ensure that any custom embroidery or print remains crisp and vibrant for the lifespan of the jacket.
