The high performance fabric is an excellent weather barrier and is assembled with double stitching and seam sealing of the outer shell. Gerber’s use of cotton-soft, high count texturized nylon shells that have been dyed for precise color consistency and texture greatly reduce color matching concerns across different batches and garments. Most of Gerber Outerwearoffers an optional Scotchlite reflective package as well.
