The first item, “CORE Performance Work WearTM 6465 Thermal Jacket,” is a men’s outerwear jacket with a shell that is predominately composed (estimated at 85%) of a 500D nylon oxford weave fabric with a visible coating on the inner surface, and is reinforced in the shoulders and at the elbows with ArmortexTM, an abrasion resistant man-made fiber fabric. The shell also has small inserts of knit fleece fabric on the upper chest and the upper back and strips between the front and back panels. The jacket has a full front opening with a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar and is covered by a storm flap, long sleeves with partial elastic at the wrists, which also have hook and loop tabs, slant pockets at the waist, a zippered pocket on the left chest, a cell phone pocket on the right chest, a horizontally secured pocket in the lower back, zippered vents under the arms, an elasticized drawstring through the bottom hem and a full lining of heavily brushed knit fleece fabric.
