The origin of the common jacket has historical roots from different civilizations dating as far back as ancient Greece, called a tunic. Described as a garment for the body designed to provide warmth and protection by covering the body, extending from the neck and shoulder area to somewhere between the hips and knees, and having sleeves to cover the arms terminating at the wrist.
The Charles River Classic Pullover Jacket is a stylish lightweight piece of outerwear clothing that is pulled over the head, has a front quarter zipper that provides for some openness and is designed to provide protection, comfort, and warmth to the wearer. Moreover, it is also designed with a classic look that is extremely fashionable with a high level of functionality. Because of this combination of performance and protection, functionality, and fashion, this jacket is extremely popular with organizations, teams and other entities wanting to provide their members with comfort and style while projecting unity and camaraderie of the group.
Protection & Performance factors of the Charles River Classic Pullover
- Constructed from wind and water-resistant River Tec™ Nylon Taffeta to provide protection from wind and rain, keeping you dry and comfortable.
- The entire jacket is lined with 100% cotton flannel to provide the wearer with comfort, softness, and warmth for those less than perfect days.
- The front zipper extends above the neck so it can be zipped up higher to provide the neck extra protection against the wind, cold, and even the sun for sensitive skin. The blood vessels of the neck area are large and located near the body surface, so protecting them against the elements helps maintain body temperature by protecting against heat loss from convection.
