JL Purist in action

THE JL Purist SplashJacket
The JL Purist is all about being in the boat. If you want a very rowing-specific jacket, the Purist is the one for your team. Sizes available: Youth Large, Adult XS-2XL

For touch screen users, scroll with two fingers (iPad, iPhone, mobile devices, etc.)

Low Neck---avoids contact with your chin as you execute that perfectly relaxed finish.
High Front--it may feel short when carrying your boat overhead, but during a ten minute piece, you'll appreciate that there is less fabric bunching around your belly.
Long Arms--nuff said!

Ask about using our new E1 DWR water-resistant Mesh for the side panels!

Purist Jacket--How it Should Fit
The Purist Jacket has a surprising fit concept--you must be sitting in the boat to really appreciate how it works.
	Your splash is not worn baggy, remember it is a rowing-specific garment! A. When standing upright, the Purist will be short in front. This is as it should be! Rowers spend little time upright anyway. Resist the temptation to pull it down or to get a bigger size if your belly shows. See image below... B. Arms are cut very very long. I hate having the sleeve of a jacket bunch up around my forearms when at full reach. C. The body should have some room available for wearing a techshirt underneath, but not too much. Should not be baggy!
	Here is a rower in the boat in her Purist Jacket A. Notice that the front is snug to her body, nothing curling over or getting stuck at the release. There is nothing loose across the body to flap in the wind. B. High collar in the back, low V-neck in the front keeps the back of your neck warm and toasty but won't interfere with the motion of your chin. C. The long tail of the Purist Jacket lays flat against the lower back, keeping the lumbar region warm and dry. See that the tail will not catch in the tracks, as it is designed to float above.
For the best fit, choose your size based on these methods Very Best: Try on the product. Sources: Previously owned JL item, JL sizing Kit, teammate's JL item.

Design your Purist Jacket

When you sit down to design your JL Purist Jacket, there are three important issues:

Consider your body type and your climate; do you need the warmth of Hytrel? or is it more wind-break you are after?
If breatheability and movement are top on your list, stick with the Drywick side panels. If you want rain-control at all costs, make your panels out of our shell fabrics.
We have almost every team color in Hytrel and Drywick, however Flashlight colors are more limited.
Our design team has created Jackets with stripes and swirls--if you want to add some flash to your team design, don't be shy, just ask if there is something you don't see.

Create and color in your unique Team Techshirt!

Is it waterproof?
Our SplashJackets are made of waterproof shell fabric. The seams are not taped (this would make the jacket almost twice the price), so we recommend using a seam sealer purchased at an outdoor shop. You can then seal the collar and back shoulder seams. When made of breathable Drywick, the side panels will allow moisture in, but more importantly, they let moisture out and provide that great movement. All styles come with shell fabric on the side panels, so you can get exactly what you want.
Why the short front?
Don't judge the fit of a Purist while standing. If on land, get down into "full compression" position--you will notice that the front is now perfectly situated for use when in the boat.
OK, but can I get it longer?
Of course! We know that rowers can have super long torsos. Just tell your rep how much longer you want it, or you could try out our Sequel Sequel Jacket which comes longer to start with. But first, try the "compression" test!
How snug should I wear it?
The Purist should not be baggy--the 4-way stretch side panel allows plenty of movement with a snugger fit than normal jackets. Besides, all you will be wearing under your Purist is a suit and a techshirt, and these (even the thickest) will not take up much room.
Should I worry about getting the tail stuck in my tracks?
Not at all! When sized correctly the tail lays flat; protecting your lower back completeley yet still "floating" far above the tracks.
No standard pockets on the Purist?
Most people never even find the Secret Agent Pocket that comes standard on all our SplashJackets. Just inside the zipper with just enough room for an ID or change for donuts, the Key/Credit Card Pocket. As to pockets on the body of the jacket, even the name "Purist" implies our company's attitude toward this garment. All function, no bling. Having said that--we do offer pockets as add-on options, and they come as a standard feature on the Sequel Release SplashJacket.

Tall and long sizing
JL Jackets can be made longer, both in the body and the arms, usually for minimal charge. Our garments are made for long reach to begin with, but if you need even more--let us know!

NO MINIMUMS!

Never had 'em. Get one, get 50--we treat every order with the same great attention
