Zip Up Long Sleeve Active Outerwear

How to measure the garment & yourself

To choose the right size and check fit, measure both your body and a comparable jacket you already own. Always measure with the garment zipped and lying flat, and measure your body while standing relaxed.

Measure the garment (flat-lay method)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a hard surface. Zip it up and smooth out wrinkles.
2. Chest/Bust: Measure straight across 1"–2" (2.5–5 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam. Double this number for the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (Some sizing charts use center-back neck to cuff — check the product's note.)
5. Back length: Measure from the base of the collar (center back) down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom edge from seam to seam and double for circumference.

Measure your body

• Chest/Bust: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping tape level and not pulled tight.
• Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist).
• Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
• Sleeve length: With arm slightly bent, measure from the center back of your neck, over the shoulder, down to the wrist (or measure from shoulder point to wrist for shorter sleeve styles).

Quick tips: compare your body measurements to the garment measurements rather than relying only on numeric sizes; allow about 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) of ease for a fitted active layer and 3–4" (7–10 cm) for a relaxed/oversized fit. 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Materials — what this style is usually made from & why it matters

Zip-up active outerwear is commonly built from performance textiles and trims. Typical components and what they do:

• Shell fabrics
  • Polyester (often 80–95%): quick-drying, durable, colorfast.
  • Nylon (often 80–95%): lightweight, smooth hand, abrasion-resistant.
  • Polyester/Nylon + Elastane/Spandex (5–15%): adds stretch and recovery for ease of movement.
• Linings & insulation
  • Mesh lining: improves breathability and wicks moisture.
  • Fleece lining (100% polyester): adds lightweight warmth and a soft interior.
  • Light synthetic fill (e.g., micro‑fibre / PrimaLoft®-type): used in insulated versions for warmth without bulk.
• Trims & hardware
  • YKK or similar zippers, elastic binding at cuffs/hem, adjustable hoods with cord locks, reflective trims for visibility.

How to find the exact materials: check the product label or the fabric composition listed on the product page (e.g., "Shell: 88% Polyester / 12% Elastane; Lining: 100% Polyester mesh"). Look for indicators like "recycled polyester," "DWR" (durable water repellent), or certifications (bluesign®, OEKO‑TEX®).

Model information (photo reference)

Typical model info shown with product photos helps you judge fit. A common example displayed on product pages is:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust/Chest 34" (86 cm) • Waist 25" (64 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size in photos: Small (S)
• Fit shown: true to size with moderate ease for layering

Use this reference plus the garment measurements above to decide if you want a closer or roomier fit.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow garment labels first. Below are general care recommendations for performance zip-ups.

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use liquid, mild detergent.
• Close zippers and fasten Velcro before washing to reduce abrasion.
• Avoid fabric softeners and bleach — they can reduce moisture-wicking and damage DWR finishes.
• For water-repellent (DWR) finishes: tumble dry on low for 10–20 minutes or follow the care label to reactivate the finish; if performance weakens, reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. If tumble drying is allowed, use low heat.
• Iron on low only if specified on the care label; avoid ironing elastic trims or printed logos.
• Spot-clean stains promptly with mild soap and water for best results.
• To remove pilling: use a fabric shaver carefully on low-pile fabrics (avoid on technical laminate panels).
• Store on a hanger or folded in a cool, dry place; avoid crushing insulated jackets for long periods.

Style tips

How to wear your Zip Up Long Sleeve Active Outerwear:

• Everyday active: pair with high‑waist leggings or joggers and lightweight trainers; zip up for a streamlined, athletic look.
• Layered weather: wear over a long-sleeve base layer and under a weatherproof shell on colder days; the slim silhouette fits easily under bulkier coats.
• Casual off-duty: team with straight-leg jeans, a tee, and low-profile sneakers for an athleisure vibe.
• Commute-ready: combine with tapered chinos and waterproof sneakers; use zipped pockets to secure essentials.
• Color & accessories: neutral outerwear works with bold base-layers or patterned scarves; add a cap or beanie for colder days and a minimalist backpack for a clean, functional look.
• Fit styling: size down for a fitted, performance-first feel; size up for extra layering room or a relaxed silhouette.
