Product Information
Full details
The Tee Jays Club Jacket in XL Black is designed for adults seeking a versatile, weather-resistant outerwear option. Its key benefit lies in its durable, showerproof, and windproof construction, making it suitable for various outdoor activities and everyday wear. A minor caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may not be entirely blocked. This jacket features a recycled nylon lining, a full-length zip with chin and inner zip guards, multiple pockets, and adjustable hem and cuffs for a personalized fit.

FAQs
What does 'showerproof' mean for this jacket?
Showerproof means the jacket is designed to withstand light rain and drizzle. It uses water-repellent coatings and tightly woven fabrics to prevent water from soaking through easily, but it is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket provides wind resistance and some insulation, making it suitable for cool weather. For colder conditions, layering with a warm mid-layer like a fleece or jumper is recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart for measurements. The jacket also features an adjustable drawcord hem and ribbed cuffs which can be adjusted to provide a snugger fit and prevent drafts.
Is this jacket suitable for active sports?
Yes, its breathable and windproof qualities make it suitable for many outdoor activities like walking, cycling, or casual sports. However, for high-intensity sports in wet conditions, a dedicated technical garment may offer superior performance.
What is the benefit of the inner zip for decoration?
The inner zip allows for easy access to the jacket's lining, making it simpler and often less expensive for customisation services to add embroidery or prints without compromising the outer fabric.
How does the recycled material impact the jacket's performance?
The use of recycled polyester and nylon generally maintains performance characteristics comparable to virgin materials, offering durability and protective qualities while reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a tiny bit of wax to the teeth for smoother operation.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish may need reapplication after several washes. Consider using a suitable spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment designed for outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions.
Drawcord at the hem is not tightening properly.
Check that the drawcord is not tangled or knotted internally. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. If the cord is frayed, it may need to be replaced.
Jacket feels clammy during activity.
While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to internal moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the weather is warm and humid, a more ventilated jacket might be better suited.
