AS Colour Rain Jacket | 5530

Description

The AS Colour Rain Jacket is the kind of shell you hand out to staff and actually see them wearing off the clock. Recycled polyester construction keeps it light and packable while delivering real weather resistance — not just a fashion piece pretending to be outerwear. The clean front panels and minimal branding make it a blank canvas for left-chest embroidery or screen-printed back graphics.

Who Orders It

Outdoor brands building seasonal collections choose the 5530 for its sustainability story and clean decoration surface. Corporate programs order these for field teams and event staff who need lightweight weather protection without looking like they raided a uniform closet. Breweries and hospitality groups use them for patio staff and outdoor events. Nonprofit organizations running outdoor fundraisers — fun runs, trail cleanups, festival volunteering — like the combination of function and branded visibility. Music venues and production crews order them for load-in days when weather is unpredictable.

Decoration

Left-chest embroidery is the standard approach — the recycled polyester face holds stitching cleanly without puckering. Back panel screen printing works well for larger graphics; use plastisol inks for durability on synthetic fabric. Heat transfer vinyl is an option for smaller runs or detailed artwork. DTG is possible but requires polyester pretreatment and adjusted heat settings. The shell fabric has a slight sheen, so test your color matching on a sample before committing to production quantities.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5530?
Left-chest embroidery is the most common and works cleanly on the recycled polyester face. Screen printing handles back graphics well with plastisol inks. Heat transfer is solid for detailed work or smaller orders.

Is this actually waterproof or just water-resistant?
It’s water-resistant — built for light rain, drizzle, and wind protection rather than sustained downpours. Think Pacific Northwest mist, not monsoon season. Adequate for staff outerwear, event days, and layering situations.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour cuts consistent and slightly tailored compared to American blanks. If you’re between sizes or layering over hoodies, size up. Request a sample if you’re outfitting a large team.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
