Gear

Six categories, 55 listings, and one question asked of every one of them: which rung does this close, and what is still open afterwards. Categories here are the catalog’s own, not this site’s, and where they disagree with a listing the disagreement is printed.

The shirt layer

Button-Down Shirts

the layer everything else goes over

None of these listings states a temperature range, and this site does not invent one. Where a listing names a material, that is the seller wording quoted back, and not a fiber content statement.

Button-Down Shirts

The knit layer

Cardigans

warmth with no weather in it

Nothing here states a temperature range, and a knit layer is not a weather layer. Where a listing names a material, this site quotes the wording and does not treat it as a fiber content statement.

Cardigans

The sweatshirt layer

Women's Hoodies

the same slot, in fleece

These listings state cuts, closures and pockets. None of them states a temperature range, a water claim, or a fiber content.

eight listings · two subgroups

Women's Hoodies

The sweatshirt layer

Men's Hoodies

mostly a sun layer, not a warm one

A UPF figure is a fabric rating produced by a published test method. It says nothing about warmth, and this site makes no statement of any kind about skin or health.

Men's Hoodies

The unlined outer layer

Denim Jackets

wind, and nothing about rain

Not one of these listings uses the words waterproof, water-resistant or seam taped. That silence is the most reliable fact in the category.

seven listings · two subgroups

Denim Jackets

The weather shell

Raincoats

water, and nothing about warmth

These listings are mixed in who they are described for: several are described for adults, or for men and women, rather than for one group. Where a listing states no lining, no seam treatment or no size range, that field is recorded as unstated.
