Ohio State Buckeyes® Technical Outerwear

It depends on the month. Early-season games in Ohio can be warm, but Columbus turns cold fast. By late October you’re dealing with wind, rain, and temperatures in the 30s and 40s. The Warm One is a PrimaLoft-insulated jacket with four hand warmer pockets that’ll keep you comfortable through a November night game. When the forecast calls for rain or snow, the Dry One is a Toray three-layer waterproof shell built for exactly that. Layer the Warm One under the Dry One when it’s cold and wet. They’re built to work as a system. For those early September games when it’s still warm, the Cool One UPF Pullover has patented cooling fabric and sun protection.

Actually waterproof. Not water-resistant, not “repels light rain.” The Dry One uses a Toray three-layer waterproof breathable membrane rated at 20,000mm/10,000g, the same spec you’d find on a premium ski shell or a high end fishing jacket. Every seam is sealed with waterproofing tape. The zippers are YKK AquaGuard, which block water at every entry point. It doesn’t leak.

Three conditions, three jackets. The Dry One is a waterproof shell. It blocks rain and wind but isn’t insulated. Think ski shell. The Warm One is an insulated jacket. PrimaLoft Gold Active+ fill that traps heat without bulk. Think technical puffer with water repellency. The Cool One is a UPF sun layer with patented brrr° cooling fabric. It actually lowers skin temperature on contact. Think sun hoodie, but engineered. Each one is built for a specific weather condition. They also layer together. Warm One under Dry One is the cold-rain combination that gets you through the game in late November.

Different product entirely. Most team jackets use basic materials and construction. They’re fine for what they are. BCKR uses elite Toray fabrics and waterproof membranes, PrimaLoft insulation, YKK AquaGuard zippers, and brrr° cooling fabrics. These are the same materials in a $500 ski shell or a $400 hunting jacket. You’ve just never seen them in your colors before. The best comparison isn’t a $60 fan hoodie. It’s an Arc’teryx or Kuiu or Simms jacket that happens to come in your team’s exact Pantone colors.

All BCKR jackets use unisex sizing ranging from XXS to 3XL. Women typically go down one size. A Men’s/Unisex Small fits like a Women’s Medium. A lot of our customers are women, and the fit feedback has been great. Women’s-specific cuts are on our roadmap. We don’t currently offer kids’ sizes.

Heck no! The Dry One is built identically to a premium outdoor shell. People wear it skiing, hunting, for sudden downpours, and summer T-storms. The Warm One is a legitimate insulated winter coat. The Cool One is a real UPF sun layer for the golf course, the boat, or a hot day at the ballpark. The colors are scarlet, gray, and black. The construction is premium outdoor. We built this gear so your team jacket could also be the best jacket you own, not something that sits in your closet between Saturdays.

We’re an independent brand, no corporate parent, no Super Bowl ads yet. We were founded by outdoor industry veterans, including the team that helped scale YETI from a regional cooler company into a global brand. We’re based in Austin, we ship every order ourselves, and we include a handwritten note in every package. We started BCKR because we’d spent careers building elite outdoor products and couldn’t find a single team jacket that was actually waterproof. So we made one. And then we made a whole system. You’re hearing about us now because the word is getting out.
