Two new categories for Shenzhen school uniforms were launched recently — the down vest and outdoor jacket — to keep students warm during the winter season, according to Spot News, a local TV program.

Previously, the outdoor jacket is only available for secondary school students, but now it has designs for primary school students, according to the report. The two new categories adopted the basic design of the traditional school uniform, with upgrades to the clothing’s material and other details. The primary school students’ outdoor jacket added an elastic design in the sleeves.

The outdoor jacket has two layers so that students can wear the outer layer in spring, the fleece inner layer in autumn and both layers in winter. The clothing is also Teflon-coated so it is waterproof, oilproof and stain-proof.

A high school student told the News that there is no need to bring an umbrella when it’s drizzling with the new uniforms, and it is easy to wipe off oil spills on it. The outdoor jacket is also reflective and offers extra visibility in the dark.

The two new uniform categories are now for sale at offline stores and online platforms. The uniforms have attracted purchases from overseas Chinese students in Japan, the U.K. and the U.S. as a token of their affection to Shenzhen, according to the report.

A mother surnamed Lin said the down vest uniform is suitable to wear in the morning when the temperatures are a bit low. Additionally, the down vest is light and warm and comes with a storage bag so that students can easily pack it after taking it off, according to the report.
