3-in-1 Jackets

3-in-1 jackets, or system jackets, are the outerwear powerhouses that pack a punch in the coldest and craziest weather conditions. The 3-in-1 jacket consists of 2 jacket layers that zip up together. To break it down:

  • The outer shell is made of waterproof, breathable synthetic material. It can come with a hood and is usually detachable.
  • The inner jacket is the insulating layer that provides warmth, such as fleece. This layer, which usually has pockets and has stylish features, can be worn alone when you just need some added warmth.
  • The 2 layers fit together snugly with zippers or snaps to create one ultimate jacket that can withstand some of the nastiest, windy, wet and cold weather conditions without it being extremely bulky.

This jacket can be worn together or each layer can be worn separately.
