Chocolate/Black is the warmest of the four SS26 Gradient Jacket colourways, a deep brown that shades into black as it runs down the body. It is a regular fit training jacket from Flux Active, made to go over a tee on the walk to the court and to come off easily once you are warm.
What you get is the standard Gradient build. The body is double layered, which is why the jacket keeps its structure where a single layer softshell would sag, and the fabric stretches four ways so the shoulders do not bind when you reach for a lob. Zipped pockets, one of them on the chest, hold your phone and keys while you play. The chest carries a small icon logo only, with the larger logo detailing kept to the hood and the back panel. Flux is based in Liverpool, and the range is designed for exactly the kind of damp spring mornings we get here.
The cut is regular and sizes go from XS to 3XL. A medium measures 56 cm across the chest on Flux's chart, and the rest of the measurements are in our size guide. Try it on in the shop in Aintree if you are unsure. It is made to be worn with the Chocolate/Black Gradient Pants, and the Chocolate Black Left Chest Logo tee sits underneath it well.
