Design & Performance
The exterior of this jacket is constructed from 360T recycled polyester with a matt-textured 1x1 ripstop weave. This specific fabric choice is intentional; the ripstop pattern prevents small snags from turning into larger tears, significantly extending the garment's service life in active environments. Despite its lightweight feel, the jacket provides impressive thermal efficiency thanks to the DuPont Sorona padding. This insulation is comprised of 37% bio plant-based polymer, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional down while maintaining excellent loft and warmth-to-weight ratios.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket has been specifically prepared to accommodate professional customisation. For a refined, executive appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can apply high-density stitching to reproduce corporate logos with exceptional clarity and durability. If your branding requires a larger, high-impact design across the back, our advanced printing techniques provide a vibrant finish that complements the matt texture of the ripstop fabric. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has the technical expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the integrity of the technical outer shell.
Use Cases
The Lite hooded jacket is ideal for corporate uniforms, sales teams operating in the field, and modern business environments where a traditional heavy coat would be cumbersome. Its low-bulk design makes it particularly suitable for staff who frequently move between indoor and outdoor settings, or for commuters who require a professional appearance with technical protection.

Practical Advice
This jacket features a modern silhouette. For those intending to wear it over thicker mid-layers such as heavy sweatshirts or fleeces, we recommend reviewing the chest measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it an excellent outer layer for transitional seasons or for layering beneath a waterproof shell in more extreme conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the appearance of the recycled polyester, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. This lower temperature prevents the breakdown of the synthetic fibres and ensures the DuPont Sorona padding remains effective for longer.
Always wash this garment separately and ensure the SBS zipper is fully closed before placing it in the machine. Leaving zips open can lead to mechanical damage to the teeth and may cause the zip to snag on the fine 1x1 ripstop fabric during the wash cycle.
Do not soak the jacket or use a tumble dryer. Intense heat and prolonged submersion can compromise the structure of the bio-based padding and the outer shell. Instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally to preserve its shape and insulating properties.
