Outerwear sourcing: four weather jobs, one platform
The Outerwear document runs on one platform and four weather jobs: insulated padding, borg and fleece texture, technical shell and rain, and kids weather. It sets out the material architecture behind each layer and is explicit that ZER0 states construction and finish language, never a waterproof class or column height.
four weather jobs
Insulated: padded jackets for warmth, volume and winter protection. Borg and fleece: texture-led layers, soft warmth and casual comfort. Shell and rain: technical outer layers, water-repellent and lightweight. Kids weather: play-proof protection, rainwear and everyday outdoor utility.
the insulated system
An insulated parka for maximum warmth and all-weather protection, a lightweight puffer that holds warmth with reduced weight and volume, a hooded quilt jacket for layerable everyday warmth, and a short insulated bomber with a clean silhouette for urban winter. Carried across men, women and kids.
The insulation story has four parts: a durable, weather-resistant shell that blocks wind and rain and protects the fill; a high-loft recycled insulation fibre that traps warm air, lightweight and easy to pack; a soft lining that helps the insulation perform and move naturally; and engineered quilt channels that keep the insulation in place and remove cold spots.
texture, shell and rain
Borg and fleece runs a fleece zip jacket as the clean everyday layer, a borg hoodie, relaxed and soft, and a teddy shacket for casual layering. The technical shell is lightweight weather defense built through shell fabric, construction and finish, with a water-repellent finish, storm zip utility and a layering-friendly fit. The rain system carries seam-sealed options and packable protection for adults and kids alike, with puddle suits and rain separates on the kids side.
what is claimed, and what is not
The document says it twice, deliberately. Construction and finish language, not a certified rating. ZER0 states no waterproof class or column height for outerwear, and describes fibre type and behaviour rather than a fill power.
The material architecture is stated the same way: shell in ripstop, taffeta and matte woven, described by construction and handle; recycled filling with lightweight loft; borg texture with a soft handle; and trim and hardware, the zips, cord locks and elastic finish that carry the category.
questions this document answers
- Does ZER0 quote a waterproof rating for outerwear?
- No. The document states that ZER0 uses construction and finish language and claims no waterproof class, column height or fill power for outerwear.
- What outerwear does ZER0 source?
- Four weather jobs on one platform: insulated padded jackets, borg and fleece texture layers, technical shell and rain, and kids weather including puddle suits and rain separates.
