Full details

Its key benefit is providing protection from light rain and wind without the bulk of heavier jackets.

FAQs
What does 'showerproof' mean?
Showerproof means the jacket is designed to repel light rain or drizzle. It is not intended for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, as water may eventually penetrate the fabric.
How do I find the correct size?
Please refer to the specific size guide provided for the Tee Jays T9644 jacket. It is recommended to measure your chest and compare it with the measurements in the guide for the best fit.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and provides moderate warmth due to its padding. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer items like fleeces or thermal tops.
Is the jacket suitable for men and women?
The Tee Jays T9644 Lite Padded Jacket is listed as unisex, meaning it is designed to be suitable for all genders. However, always check the specific sizing guide for the best fit.
How durable is the recycled nylon and polyester?
Recycled nylon and polyester are engineered to be as durable as their virgin counterparts. The ripstop fabric construction further enhances the jacket's resilience against tears and wear.
Can I put the jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Avoid using bleach and tumble dry on low heat. Always check the care label for the most accurate instructions.
What is DuPont™ padding?
DuPont™ padding is a type of synthetic insulation known for its warmth and lightweight properties, designed to provide comfort in cooler temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced
Follow the washing instructions carefully. Consider using a specific re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment for synthetic outerwear after cleaning to restore water repellency.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
This is a lightweight jacket. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer fleece or thermal base layer. Ensure the hem and cuffs are adjusted to prevent drafts.
Seams or stitching are loose
Carefully trim any loose threads. For significant seam issues, consult a tailor for repair to prevent further damage.
