Glossary
Apparel
| beanie: |
A Beanie is a brimless a close-fitting knit or crocheted cap which is usually made of acrylic or wool, synthetic material, man-made or fleece. Beanies are commonly worn during the winter and other colder seasons to keep one's head warm; although some wear them just for the look |
| cap: |
A cap is a form of headgear. Caps have crowns that fit closer than hats and have no brim or only a visor. They are typically designed for warmth and, when including a visor, blocking sunlight from the eyes. |
| cargo pants: |
Cargo Pants (cargo trousers) are much like regular khaki pants, but were designed originally for tough, outdoor activities. They are baggier, permitting free movement, made of hardwearing, quick-drying fabrics, with tough stitching, and have large belt loops and several additional patch pockets. |
| Fedora: |
A fedora is a soft felt hat that is creased lengthwise down the crown and pinched in the front on both sides. |
| Flexfit: |
A Flexfit cap has a poly-weave spandex stretchable head band designed for comfort and to keep the cap on your head during activity. |
| Henley shirt: |
A henley shirt is a collarless men's casualwear pullover shirt, characterized by a 10 cm to 15 cm (4"-6") long placket beneath the round neckline, usually having 2-5 buttons. It essentially resembles a collarless polo shirt. |
| hoodie: |
short for "hooded sweatshirt", is a heavy upper-body garment with a hood. The characteristic design includes large frontal pockets, a hood, and (usually) a drawstring to adjust the hood opening. Hoodies with zippers are called "zip hoodies" or "zip-ups". |
| L/S: |
Long sleeve in reference to shirt sleeve style. |
| polarized: |
Lenses used to diminish the amount of light arriving at the eye and reduce glare. |
| polo shirt: |
A polo shirt, also known as a golf shirt or formerly a tennis shirt, is a T-shaped shirt with a collar, typically two or three buttons down a slit below the collar, and an optional pocket |
| S/S: |

Eyewear

Lenses that block all light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nanometers. |
| UV resistant: |
Lens or goggle type that protect eyes from harmful UV rays. |
| ANSI Z87: |
ANSI Z87 is a certification given to eyewear that passes performance standards for both high velocity and high mass impact. ANSI Z87 certified eyewear is ideal for military, law-enforcement, construction, laboratory, or industrial usage. |
| polarized lenses: |
Ordinary tinted lenses reduce brightness where polarized lenses eliminate glare. A thin sheet of polarized film is placed between two layers of material to create polarization. Polarized lenses are ideal for boaters, fishermen, skiers, golfers, bikers, and joggers, who require a clearer view and elimination of glare. |
| Polycarbonate Lenses: |
Polycarbonate is a thin, lightweight lens material that is strong, shatter-resistant, and distortion free. Polycarbonate lenses are the preferred lenses for the majority of performance eyewear. They are ideal for cycling, action sports, watersports, winter sports, hunting, and many outdoor activities. |
