Hello and welcome to 3 in 1 jacket!
There are so many areas of the world where the weather is in a constant state of flux and certain times of the year. Whilst the morning can be wet, the afternoon might be sunny and hot and the evening quite cool. What a nightmare it is to decide on what jacket to take with you as you leave your home at 8am in the morning! Enter the 3 in jacket!
Typically this versatile coat will have three layers. The inner fleece-type layer will retain heat whilst being simultaneously breathable, therefore keeping your body warm when required. The middle layer will be a light breathable material acting as a wind-break. The outer layer will be the water-resistant layer that keeps you dry. This layer will have a hood that can either be removed or zipped-up.
In terms of prices, in the UK you will be looking at around £25 for the most basic to around £250 for the most modern incorporating advanced materials such as Gore-Tex. The mid-price is around £60-£90.They come in unisex models as well as men’s 3 in 1 jackets or ladies 3 in 1 jackets.
3 in 1 jackets are useful in all environments. You are just as likely to wear one on an urban street as on top of a mountain. If you buy one you truly have a jacket for all scenarios.
