Technical Performance
The Team Associated Race Jacket XX-Large SP001XXL represents a significant step up from standard casual sportswear, with engineering that reflects Team Associated's expertise in high-performance RC products. The jacket's construction utilises premium denim texture fabric combined with quilted part-fleece lining, creating a sophisticated thermal layer that maintains warmth without excessive bulk. The fully taped seams are a critical feature for serious RC enthusiasts, preventing moisture penetration during the unpredictable weather conditions common at UK race tracks and club meetings. The heavy-duty 2-way zip with interchangeable colour pulls demonstrates attention to detail—this isn't a simple fixed zip, but a versatile system that allows independent opening from top or bottom, perfect for ventilation during active pit work or layering over other clothing. With six zipped pockets strategically placed (four exterior, two interior), this jacket proves it was designed by people who understand the practical demands of RC racing, where you need instant access to spare parts, tools, timing sheets and personal items without having to remove the jacket. The contrast twin needle stitching with bar tacks at stress points provides reinforced construction at the areas most likely to experience strain, extending the jacket's lifespan even with intensive regular use. The stud-closing storm flap and fully taped seams work together to shield you from British weather, whilst the reflective detail ensures visibility in the low-light conditions that often characterise early or late-season racing. The removable hood adds genuine versatility—it's there when you need weather protection but removes cleanly when conditions improve or you want a sleeker appearance. The adjustable hem allows fine-tuning of the fit, whilst the D-ring provides a secure attachment point for essential items. Every element of this XX-Large jacket has been thoughtfully designed to support serious RC enthusiasts through race days, club meetings and travel to competitions across the UK.
