Tee Jays Lite Padded Jacket - Black - M

The 'lite' designation refers to its lightweight construction, using DuPont™ padding and a thin yet effective recycled nylon lining, making it ideal for milder conditions or as a layering piece.

No, the jacket features DuPont™ padding, which is a synthetic insulation material.

Refer to the brand's sizing guide, typically found on the product page or manufacturer's website. Measure your chest and waist circumference and compare it to the provided measurements for the best fit.

While it provides warmth, it is designed as a 'lite' padded jacket. For very cold or harsh winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more substantial, insulated, or waterproof outer shell.

Showerproof means the jacket is treated to resist light rain or drizzle for a limited time. It is not designed to withstand prolonged or heavy downpours.

Yes, the jacket uses high-quality recycled polyester and nylon (360T and 380T respectively) which are known for their durability and performance characteristics in apparel.

Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment. Specific re-proofing sprays designed for outdoor technical wear can be used periodically if repellency diminishes significantly.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth if it continues to be stiff.

Ensure the jacket is properly dried. Tumble dry on low heat, ideally with tennis balls, to help redistribute and fluff the padding. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip the material's properties.

This jacket is showerproof, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a fully waterproof outer layer. Light water repellency can be maintained with appropriate fabric care.
