The Everyday Warm-Up Layer: Lightweight Full-Zip Batting Jacket

The full-zip baseball batting jacket is the everyday warm-up and travel layer in our custom baseball range. a lightweight ~280 GSM polyester tricot with a full-length zip, ribbed-knit cuffs and hem, and a hip-length active cut. Worn over the uniform at batting practice, in the dugout, and on the road, color-matched to your team jersey. Full-color sublimation covers the entire shell including the sleeves, because there is no quilting to distort the print. Prefer a pull-on with no full zip? That is the pullover batting jacket. For a heavy insulated cold-weather bench coat, see the dugout jacket. Build it to match the rest of the team's uniform.

Honest Spec Notes

Fabric: A lightweight ~280 GSM polyester tricot knit, breathable and warm-up-friendly, NOT insulated like the dugout jacket and NOT water-resistant-coated like the rain jacket. It is the everyday layer for batting practice, the dugout, travel, and mild-weather use, not a cold-weather bench coat.

Decoration: Sublimation covers the full shell including the sleeves cleanly, because there is no quilting to distort the print. Embroidery and tackle twill go on the flat chest panel. The ribbed-knit cuffs and hem are knit-trim zones and do not hold dense embroidery stitching.

Seams: The ribbed-knit cuffs and hem are the signature warm-up-jacket trim. they hold the jacket in position and retain elasticity across the season. The full-length coil zipper runs with a chin guard at the top to prevent zipper bite, reinforced with bartack stitching at the anchor points.

Decoration Options for Your Batting Jacket

Full-Zip Batting Jacket FAQ

The questions teams and coaches ask before ordering a batting jacket. answered for the lightweight warm-up layer and how the full-zip differs from the pullover.

What's the difference between the full-zip and pullover batting jackets?
The closure. The full-zip batting jacket opens all the way down the front with a full-length zip, so it is easy to layer on and off over the uniform. The pullover batting jacket pulls on over the head with a short neck zip, for the cleaner classic warm-up look. Same ~280 GSM tricot, same ribbed cuffs and hem, same decoration and price. Pick by preference.
Is the batting jacket insulated or waterproof?
Neither. It is a breathable ~280 GSM polyester tricot warm-up layer with no insulation and no water-resistant coating. For a heavy insulated cold-weather bench coat, see the dugout jacket. For a waterproof shell, see the rain jacket. The batting jacket prioritizes breathability and freedom of movement for warm-ups.
Can the design cover the sleeves?
Yes. Sublimation covers the entire shell including the sleeves cleanly, because there is no quilting to distort the print. You can run team stripes down the full sleeve length, a full back-panel team mark, or a full-zip-line accent. The only no-print zones are the ribbed-knit cuffs and hem, which take a contrast accent color but not detailed graphics.
Will the jacket color-match our uniform?
Yes. We sublimate the batting jacket in the same colorway as your team jersey using identical color values. Order the jacket and the uniform together and we run them in the same production batch for a coordinated team look.
Where can we put the team logo and sponsor marks?
Embroidery and tackle twill go on the flat front chest panel for a crisp dimensional crest. Sublimation handles everything else. full back-panel marks, sponsor wordmarks, sleeve stripes, and zip-line accents. The ribbed cuffs and hem take a contrast accent color but not dense embroidery.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single piece up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1-20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five additional volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces.
What is the production and delivery timeline?
Production runs about two weeks from artwork approval. Tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries adds 4-7 business days, putting your custom full-zip baseball batting jackets in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
