What is the Outpost Jacket?
While highly warm and functional, the Outpost Jacket looks super stylish with its thick, retro looking high pile fleece. It's the perfect everyday, casual fleece that you can pair with jeans. Alternatively, you can, of course, pair it with hiking trousers if you're heading out on the hills. It will certainly keep you toasty during harsh winters.
What is it made of?
The Outpost uses a combination of Polartec® 300 high pile shearling fleece and Matrix™ double weave stretch fabric overlays. The overlays are treated in a fluorocarbon free DWR (durable water repellent) that encourages light rain to bead off the material.
Polartec® 300 is extremely warm and feels nice and soft on the skin. It's ideal for cosying up on cold winter days when you need something reliable to keep you snug.
Matrix™ double weave stretch overlays are placed on the back yoke and shoulders to give added protection when wearing a pack. These overlays help prevent backpacks from rubbing and wearing the fleece down in contact points where a lot of weight may lie.
What are its features?
As previously mentioned, around the shoulders and at the top of the back, strategically placed reinforcement overlays add extra durability to the design.
The front is fastened using a YKK® VISLON® zip with a roll over chin guard. The chin guard helps prevent the zip from catching or feeling uncomfortable against the face when the jacket is fastened for long periods.
Two brushed, mesh lined hand pockets provide plenty of storage for essentials like a wallet, keys or mobile phone. These pockets are great to keep your paws warm when you've forgotten your gloves, or alternatively, use them to increase ventilation by leaving them open and letting airflow through the mesh pouches.
Set in sleeves give a neat, tidy finish to the overall look of the jacket. There's plenty of freedom of movement around the upper body, even messing around with the kids in the Outpost feels like a breeze... almost.
Elasticated binding at the cuffs and hem optimise fit whilst providing plenty of flexibility. The cuffs are low bulk, so they feel light around the wrists, yet can comfortably adapt themselves over gloves and mitts.
How does it fit?
The Outpost Jacket is a regular fit piece, so it has some room underneath for layers without feeling too oversized and baggy. It's the perfect autumn/winter piece that can be worn alone or with a parka jacket over the top.
