Men’s jackets “3 in 1” belong to the sportswear format “outdoors”, that is, one that is designed for active recreation, including hiking, climbing, biking and so on.
What it differs from the everyday clothes for the city is its manufacturability and characteristics such as wear resistance, water repellency, breathability and more, which can be useful during active tourism in extreme or just unstable weather conditions.
Men’s triclimate jackets – construction
Usually, men’s 3in1 travel jackets may be called by the following names: Tricklimat, Component Jacket, 3in1, Combo Jacket. In fact, these are all names for the same two-ply jacket design, just that they may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Using the example of the “3 in 1” jacket, the British brand Karrimor , let’s look at the construction of these jackets. In fact, the jacket itself consists of two separate jackets – an upper and a lower. Where the lower provides preservation of heat, and the upper protects against wind and moisture. It is because of this design jacket got its name “3 in 1” Because as a result you get a great three-season clothing option: fall, winter, summer.

They can be worn separately or can be worn together, which will provide double protection against bad weather:
- During the cold season, when there is no precipitation and high humidity, you can wear only the jacket underneath, which will provide insulation and at the same time will not restrict your movements;
- If you plan an active hiking or, for example, cycling route, and rain and wind outside, you can limit yourself to just the top layer, which will protect against bad weather and which you will not be hot.
- And if you need wind protection and extra insulation at the same time, just combine the two jackets into one with a special mechanism.
Consider both layers in more detail:
Triclimate Under Jacket – Thermal Insulation
Even beginner hikers know how important it is to have a quality insulation layer during the hike. Depending on the model, the bottom layer may be of such materials:
1.fleece fabric
Classic fabric, which is used for sports and travel clothing. Synthetic fiber from polyester, which is what fleece is, has the following characteristics:
- Fleece is lightweight and even the bulkiest products made of it (e.g. men’s jackets) weigh quite little;
- The breathable effect ensures the timely and effective drainage of moisture from the body during high loads;
- The elasticity of the material makes it comfortable to wear, especially if you have to move a lot;
- Fleece dries quickly, and this is a very useful property during hiking trips;
- The fabric does not require special care, easy to wash in the machine wash;
- Fleece has good thermal insulation characteristics and demonstrates them well during cold weather;
- the material is strong, hard-wearing and durable;
- The fleece fabric is hypoallergenic.
Some manufacturers add additional fibers to the material, which enhance certain characteristics of the fabric. For example, a fleece jacket with Polartec technology will have high compactness and also dry better. Some modifications allow you to improve the wear resistance and elasticity of the lower fleece jacket, which will be useful for tourists who love outdoor activities in extreme conditions.
2.Synthetic thermal insulation
The Ripstop material is a fabric with a special structure, which has an increased strength. The nylon fiber from which the material is made is really very hardened and gains protection against tensile loads and does not delaminate in case of small cracks or cuts.

Sometimes the fabric is treated with

The fabric is sometimes treated with the durable water repellent technology, which makes the jacket water repellent while maintaining its breathability.
3. goose down insulation
Usually, these are bottom jackets, which are also made of heavy-duty fabric, treated with moisture-repellent technology, but in addition, they are insulated with goose down. Basically , these are clothes for extreme tourism, such as mountaineering. The level of insulation will be affected by the quality of down and its degree of cleaning.
Triclimate Outer Jacket – for rain and wind
The ideal material for the top layer is a synthetic membrane. This material is a thin film of fluoroplastic (Teflon) covered with tiny holes through which the steam flows. Providing breathability for the body, the fabric at the same time is impermeable to water, and therefore ideal for snow and rain conditions.
Today, manufacturers often use a synthetic material based on a membrane. It is a fabric of three layers put together: an outer layer, a membrane, an inner lining. Depending on the brand, the material may be called by different names and have additional characteristics or technology of fabric processing.
