Stryder Full-Zip Jacket - Men's

DWR Coating stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains or you get splashed, water will bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. This feature keeps you drier for longer, making it ideal for outdoor activities in unpredictable weather.

UPF, or Ultraviolet Protection Factor, measures how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric and reach your skin. A UPF rating of 50 means that only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays can pass through, providing excellent protection against harmful sun exposure. This is especially important for outdoor enthusiasts who spend extended periods in the sun, as it helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Wind-resistant fabric is designed to block the wind, keeping you warm and comfortable in breezy conditions. It prevents cold air from penetrating the material, which is crucial during outdoor activities like hiking or cycling. This feature ensures that you can enjoy your time outside without being chilled by the wind.

A 3-piece hood is constructed with three separate sections of fabric, allowing for a better fit and more freedom of movement. This design provides better coverage and comfort compared to simpler hood designs, making it easier to adjust the hood to your head shape and ensuring it stays in place during windy conditions.

Back panel venting features openings or mesh sections in the back of the jacket that allow for airflow. This helps regulate your body temperature and prevents overheating during physical activities by allowing sweat and heat to escape. It’s particularly beneficial for those who engage in high-energy sports or activities, ensuring you stay comfortable and dry.

Absolutely! Jackets with DWR coating, UPF protection, wind-resistant fabric, a 3-piece hood, and back panel venting are designed to perform well in various weather conditions. Whether you're facing rain, sun, or wind, these features work together to keep you comfortable and protected, making them versatile choices for outdoor adventures.
