Product description
The majority of the front and rear panels, the collar, the shoulders and two sections along the upper portion of the sleeves are composed of a woven rip-stop 100% polyester fabric shell and a woven 100% polyester fabric lining that are quilted together with a nonwoven polyester batting insulation in between. The outer sides and lower portion of the front and rear panels, the underarms, the lower portion along the length of the sleeves and a small center section on the upper portion of the sleeves are composed of a knit 97% polyester/3% spandex fleece fabric. The jacket has a stand-up collar edged with a capping fabric, a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar, long sleeves with elasticized capping fabric at the wrist areas, two front pockets with zipper closures at the waist and an elasticized capping fabric at the bottom edge.
