Tek Gear Hooded Mixed Media Jacket — Women’s Active Outerwear
Our mixed media jacket brings together two performance fabrics in one versatile design. The hooded silhouette features a breathable stretch-knit body paired with durable woven sleeves and shoulder panels that block wind and light rain. We built this jacket for women who move between studio classes, outdoor runs, and everyday errands without missing a beat.
We engineered the Tek Gear mixed media jacket around a dual-fabric system that addresses two conflicting needs: breathability during activity and protection from the elements. The core torso uses a four-way stretch knit that moves with you and pulls moisture away from your skin when you’re working hard. The woven panels across the shoulders and down the sleeves act as a wind barrier without adding stiffness or weight.
Sizing & Fit Details
Body Measurements & Length
This jacket runs true to our standard Tek Gear sizing chart. The stretch-knit torso provides about two inches of give, so if you’re between sizes or prefer a closer athletic fit, we recommend sizing down. If you plan to layer over heavier midlayers or want a relaxed silhouette, stay with your usual size. The dropped-tail hem hits approximately mid-hip on a 5’6″ frame, offering coverage that works with both high-rise leggings and low-rise joggers.
Sleeve & Hood Fit
The raglan sleeve construction eliminates shoulder seams that can dig in during overhead movements or when wearing a backpack. Cuffs are slightly elasticized to stay in place without binding. The hood is sized to fit over a low ponytail or messy bun; the drawcord lets you cinch it down for a secure fit during windy conditions or loosen it for casual wear.
Versatility Across Training Styles
The tek gear mixed media jacket adapts to multiple training contexts without requiring you to own separate pieces for every scenario. We’ve watched customers wear this jacket straight from barre class to trail hikes, from pre-dawn strength sessions to weekend errands. The stretch-knit panels move through a full range of motion — you won’t feel restricted during kettlebell swings, yoga flows, or climbing into a high SUV seat.
The woven sleeves make it practical for outdoor workouts where you need wind protection but don’t want the bulk of a traditional running jacket. Because the knit body breathes freely, you can wear it as your primary layer during cool-weather training instead of stripping it off after the first mile. The zippered pockets are large enough for a smartphone, keys, and ID without bouncing or interfering with movement. Many of the same performance priorities that guide our women’s activewear line — freedom of movement, moisture management, and practical storage — show up in this jacket’s design.

Common Questions About the Mixed Media Jacket
The woven sleeves and shoulder panels have a DWR coating that sheds light rain and drizzle, but this jacket is not waterproof. It will keep you dry during short exposures to light precipitation, like walking between your car and the gym or a brief shower during an outdoor workout. For sustained rain or heavy downpours, we recommend layering under a waterproof shell or choosing a fully waterproof rain jacket.
The Tek Gear mixed media jacket runs true to size with a slightly relaxed athletic fit. The stretch-knit torso provides about two inches of give, so if you prefer a closer fit or you’re between sizes, consider sizing down. If you plan to layer over thicker midlayers or want more room, stick with your usual size. The raglan sleeves and stretch fabric accommodate a range of body types without feeling restrictive.
Yes, the hood features an adjustable drawcord that lets you customize the fit. You can cinch it down for a secure fit during windy conditions or loosen it for casual wear. The hood is sized to fit comfortably over a ponytail or bun, and the drawcord toggles are easy to adjust even while wearing gloves.
Machine wash cold with like colors, turning the jacket inside out to protect the reflective trims and DWR finish. Use a gentle detergent and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce the moisture-wicking properties of the knit fabric. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the elastic elements in the cuffs and hem. Avoid high heat and harsh chemicals to maintain the water-repellent coating on the woven panels.
The mixed media jacket works well for moderate-intensity training like jogging, brisk walks, circuit classes, and outdoor warm-ups. The breathable stretch-knit torso wicks moisture and allows airflow, so you won’t overheat during most activities. For very high-intensity interval sessions or hot-weather training, you may prefer to start with just a tank or tee and add the jacket as a warm-up or cool-down layer.
Yes, both zippered hand pockets are sized to hold a smartphone, keys, ID, and small essentials securely. The zippers keep items from bouncing out during movement, and the pockets sit at a comfortable angle that doesn’t interfere with running stride or other athletic movements. Many customers use the pockets to carry their phone and a credit card for post-workout coffee runs.
The reflective logo and trim details are designed to catch headlights and streetlights during early-morning or evening training sessions. Multiple customers have reported that drivers acknowledge seeing them during dawn and dusk runs. The reflective elements are positioned on the chest, back, and sleeves for 360-degree visibility, making the jacket a safer choice for outdoor activity in low-light conditions.
