This product page details the technical specifications, material construction, and functional design of the wholesale light walking jacket for women. It is intended for procurement professionals evaluating performance characteristics, manufacturing consistency, and application suitability for outdoor activity wear.

The jacket balances minimal weight with sufficient environmental protection for temperate conditions. Design priorities include unrestricted movement during walking, moisture management, and packability for transport or storage.

Manufacturing follows standardized pattern grading and seam placement protocols to ensure dimensional consistency across production batches. Each unit undergoes intermediate checks for stitch integrity and closure function before final packaging.

The outer shell uses a 100% polyester plain weave with a density of 85 g/m². This weight class provides abrasion resistance against light brush contact while maintaining a packed volume under 300 ml when folded. The yarn count is 75D/75F, contributing to a smooth surface finish and low noise during movement.

A hydrophilic polyurethane laminate is applied to the inner surface of the shell, delivering a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of 8,000 g/m²/24h under standard test conditions (JIS L 1099 B1). This allows sweat to escape while resisting light precipitation up to 1,500 mm hydrostatic head.

The lining consists of 100% polyester tricot with a weight of 45 g/m². It is bonded to the shell at critical stress points (shoulders, armholes) using thermoplastic adhesive films to prevent shifting during wear. Seams are sealed with 12 mm wide polyurethane tape on all needle penetrations to maintain water resistance.

The jacket employs a semi-fitted cut with articulated sleeves featuring a 10-degree forward pitch at the elbow. This reduces fabric tension during arm swing and prevents riding up during prolonged use. The back length exceeds the front by 25 mm to accommodate a forward-leaning posture common in walking.

A center front coil zipper (YKK #5 or equivalent) runs from chin to hem, protected by an internal storm flap with a 15 mm overlap. The flap is secured with two hidden snap fasteners at the neck and mid-chest to prevent wind penetration. Zipper pulls are molded polymer with a textured grip for gloved operation.

Two hand pockets are positioned at the natural waist level, each with a zippered closure and drainage grommets at the lower corner. Pocket bags are made from the same 45 g/m² tricot lining to maintain breathability. Internal storage includes a single zippered security pocket on the left chest.

Adjustability is provided via a hem drawcord with barrel locks and elasticated cuffs. The drawcord exits through reinforced eyelets and can be adjusted with one hand. Cuffs use a 20 mm wide elastic knit with a 5% spandex blend to retain shape after repeated stretching.

The jacket’s thermal insulation value (CLO) measures approximately 0.35 when worn over a base layer, suitable for active use in temperatures between 5°C and 15°C. This value is derived from the combined effect of the shell, lining, and trapped air layer, not from added insulation.

Air permeability is rated at 8.5 cm³/cm²/s under ISO 9237, indicating a balance between wind resistance and breathability. This prevents overheating during moderate exertion while reducing convective heat loss in breezy conditions.

Packed dimensions average 18 cm x 12 cm x 6 cm (LxWxH) with a weight of 140 g ±10 g for size M. These metrics are based on standardized folding procedures and are critical for logistics planning in wholesale distribution.

Available in women’s sizes XS through 3XL, with grading rules based on ISO 8559-1:2017. Key dimensions include chest circumference (84 cm to 112 cm), back length (58 cm to 68 cm), and sleeve length (76 cm to 84 cm), all measured flat and unstretched.

Pattern grading uses a 2.5 cm increment for chest and waist, and 2.0 cm for sleeve length between sizes. This ensures proportional scaling without distorting the jacket’s ergonomic features. All sizes maintain the same seam placement and pocket positioning relative to body landmarks.

Pre-production samples are evaluated using a 3D body scan protocol to verify ease of movement across sizes. Adjustments to pattern shapes are made if restriction is detected in shoulder flexion or torso rotation tests.

Each production lot undergoes four-point inspection: fabric roll check (width, weight, defect density), pre-assembly verification (notch alignment, seam allowance), in-line stitching audit (stitch density, tension, thread type), and final function test (zipper operation, pocket access, closure integrity).

Stitching uses 301 lockstitch with 10–12 stitches per cm on all structural seams. Thread is 100% polyester core-spun with a tensile strength of 4.5 cN/tex. Bartack reinforcement is applied at pocket corners and stress points with a minimum of 28 stitches.

Water resistance is spot-checked using a hydrostatic head tester on seam-sealed areas. Acceptance criterion is a minimum of 1,200 mm after three wash cycles (ISO 6330). Colorfastness to light and washing is verified per AATCC standards, with fading limited to gray scale 3 or better.

Finished garments are inspected for loose threads, staining, and measurement tolerance. Acceptable variance is ±1.5 cm on linear dimensions and ±2% on weight. Non-conforming items are segregated for rework or scrap based on defect type.

This jacket is designed for low-intensity outdoor activities where weather variability is expected but extreme conditions are not anticipated. Typical use includes urban walking, trail hiking in fair weather, and travel layering. The minimal bulk allows it to be carried in a daypack or large purse without significant added volume.

Its breathability profile makes it unsuitable for high-output activities like running or climbing, where internal moisture accumulation would exceed the WVTR capacity. For such applications, a higher-performance shell with greater ventilation is recommended.

Wholesale buyers often source this item for corporate wellness programs, retail consignment in outdoor lifestyle stores, or as a base layer in multi-piece seasonal collections. Its neutral styling and limited color palette (typically black, navy, gray) support easy integration into existing product lines.

Standard production includes solid dye colors with no surface patterning. Custom color matching is available upon submission of a Pantone reference or physical sample, subject to minimum order quantities and dye lot approval. Color variation is controlled to ΔE < 2.0 under D65 lighting.

Logo application is possible via heat transfer, screen printing, or embroidery on the left chest, back yoke, or sleeve cuff. Placement must avoid seam lines and waterproof tape areas to maintain performance. Artwork files should be provided in vector format with clear spacing guidelines.

Minor design adjustments—such as pocket depth, zipper length, or hem drawcord type—can be accommodated through pattern modification. These changes require a new sample approval cycle and may affect pricing and lead time. All customizations are evaluated for impact on seam sealing and structural integrity.

For wholesale inquiries, please provide your company details, required sizes, color preferences, and estimated annual volume. Technical data sheets, material safety information, and sample requests can be arranged upon receipt of a formal inquiry.

Lead times vary based on order complexity and current production capacity. Standard orders of stock colors typically ship within 25–35 working days after sample approval and deposit. Custom colors or logo applications may extend this timeline.

All products are manufactured under ISO 9001-aligned quality management systems. Traceability is maintained from raw material receipt to final shipment. Documentation including test reports and conformity declarations is available for audit purposes.
