Product description
We regret the delay in responding, which was due to laboratory analysis. The item in question, style AGUQ-M Apex Bionic, is a men’s outerwear jacket made from a three-layer laminated fabric, consisting of an outer fabric of 97% polyester/3% elastane woven fabric, a middle layer of white polyurethane plastic film (which is visible in cross-section) and an inner layer of a 100% polyester warp knit brushed fabric. This fabric was analyzed by the CBP laboratory and was found to be of non-pile construction. Style AGUQ-M Apex Bionic has a full front opening with a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar, long sleeves with hook and loop closures at the ends, zippered pockets at the waist and in the left chest and an elasticized drawstring through the bottom hem.
