The entire jacket is visibly coated on the inner surface with polyurethane. The jacket has a stand-up collar, an integral hood with a drawcord tightening and two snaps that can be rolled up and stored within the collar by a zipper closure, a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar and a double overlapping flap with hook and loop closures that covers the front zipper area. The garment has long sleeves with a banded cuff secured at the wrist by a tab with a hook and loop fastener, two front pockets with zipper closures at the waist and a drawcord tightening through the bottom hem. The “Under Armour” tradename and logo are featured at various areas of the jacket. The essential character of this garment is imparted by the knit portions.
