Apparel details
Built for unpredictable weather without the bulk of a heavy winter coat, the Independent Trading Co. EXP35SSZ Poly-Tech Soft Shell Jacket combines a weather-resistant polyester exterior with a warm bonded microfleece lining.
The coated shell helps block wind and rain, while the three-panel scuba hood, water-resistant zippers and adjustable toggles provide additional coverage when conditions turn. Zippered chest and hand pockets keep essentials secure without adding unnecessary bulk.
Its clean profile works equally well as an everyday outer layer or a professional crew jacket. Concealed embroidery access makes it a practical choice for company logos, team uniforms and customized workwear.
The exterior fabric carries a 20,000 mm waterproof coating. Because the garment’s seams are sewn rather than sealed or taped, the finished jacket is classified and marketed as water resistant rather than fully waterproof.
