DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when exposed to light rain or wet conditions, water beads up and rolls off the surface instead of soaking in. This feature is essential for outdoor clothing, as it helps keep you dry and comfortable during unpredictable weather.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, and a rating of 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV rays from the sun. This level of protection is crucial for outdoor activities, as it helps prevent sunburn and reduces the risk of long-term skin damage, allowing you to enjoy the sun safely.

A Regular Fit is designed to provide a standard shape that is neither too tight nor too loose. This cut offers comfort and ease of movement, making it ideal for everyday wear and outdoor activities. If you prefer a relaxed yet tailored look, Regular Fit is a great choice.

A 3-Panel Hood is constructed from three pieces of fabric, allowing for a more tailored fit that contours to your head. This design enhances comfort and mobility, providing better protection from wind and rain. It ensures that the hood stays in place during movement, making it perfect for active outdoor use.

Handwarmer Pockets are specially designed pockets located at waist level, lined with soft material to keep your hands warm in cold weather. Besides providing warmth, they also serve as convenient storage for small items like keys or snacks, making them practical for outdoor adventures.

While DWR Coating is effective for light rain and wet conditions, it is not designed for heavy downpours. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider layering with waterproof gear or using additional rain protection. However, DWR-treated clothing will still help keep you drier than untreated fabrics.
