Packable Half-Zip Windbreaker Tech Pack
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I need a detailed tech pack for a lightweight, half-zip nylon windbreaker that prioritises breathability and folds down small enough to disappear into a pocket. The document has to guide sampling and production teams with no guesswork, so every measurement, trim, and construction note must be crystal-clear.
Key points to address
• Fabric: 100 % nylon shell called out by weight, weave, and finish, plus lining recommendations if necessary for airflow.
• Performance: Venting strategy (mesh panels, laser-cut eyelets, etc.) to keep it breathable while still blocking wind; notes on DWR treatment are welcome but secondary.
• Packability: Pattern placement and pocket-into-pouch concept so the jacket compresses neatly without bulky seams.
• Style: Clean half-zip front, articulated hood, elastic or shock-cord hem, and low-profile cuffs—annotated sketches are essential.
• Artwork: Front, back, and inside views rendered in Adobe Illustrator (or compatible vector) with colour call-outs and Pantone codes.
• BOM: Full bill of materials listing fabrics, zippers, pulls, thread, labels, and any heat-transfer graphics.
• Specs: Graded size chart (XS-XL) showing all critical points of measure in both inches and centimetres.
• Assembly: Stitch types, SPI, and seam taping locations where required.
Please package everything into one editable Illustrator file plus a PDF ready for factory hand-off. Let me know if you need existing brand templates or reference garments before starting; I’ll provide them right away. Once the draft tech pack lands, I’ll review, mark up, and we’ll iterate until it meets production-ready standards.
