Why Ashvord exists
I wore six different shells before building my own.
I spend a lot of time outdoors — hiking, hunting, working in all kinds of weather. I wanted gear that looked clean enough for the city but held up when things got rough. Everything I tried was either too military, too techy, or fell apart after a season. So I stopped buying and started building. The Hybrid Shell is what I actually wear — every day, in the woods, in the city. If it wasn't good enough for me, it wouldn't be good enough for you.

Your questions, answered.
Everything customers ask before ordering.
Is the Hybrid Shell waterproof?
Not fully waterproof — and we'll be straight about that. The DWR coating handles light rain, drizzle and splashes well. For heavy downpours, layer it under a hardshell. Think of it as your go-to piece for 80% of weather, 100% of the time.
How does sizing run?
True to size with an athletic tapered cut — built to move with you, not hang off you. If you plan to layer underneath or prefer a relaxed fit, size up. Check the size guide below for exact chest and sleeve measurements.
What's the difference between body and sleeve fabric?
The body is 65% polyester / 35% cotton — softer, breathable, comfortable against skin during long wear. The sleeves are 100% polyester — more abrasion-resistant for when you're pushing through brush, carrying a pack, or working with your hands.
Can I wear it every day or is it only for outdoor use?
Both. The Hybrid Shell was designed with that crossover in mind — functional enough for the trail or worksite, clean enough for the city. The Black Multicam and Green Multicam colorways work well as a daily driver.
What are the forearm loop pass-throughs for?
Sewn-in sleeve loops for hands-free carry — slide a pen, marker, torch, or small tool through and it stays put without needing a pocket. A small detail that makes a real difference when your hands are full.
What are the elbow slots for?
The reinforced elbow slots are insert-ready — built to accept standard elbow pad inserts for technical work, rough terrain, or extended field use. The shell ships without pads, so you wear it as-is or add your own.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, hang dry. Skip the tumble dryer — heat degrades the DWR coating over time. If water stops beading off after several washes, a short low-heat tumble (10 minutes) can reactivate the coating.
How long does shipping take?
We ship worldwide. US and EU orders typically arrive in 5–9 business days. Every order includes tracking from the moment it leaves us.
What's your return policy?
30 days from delivery, no questions asked. If the fit isn't right or you're not happy, email hello@ashvord.com and we'll sort it quickly.
Regular fit with a slightly relaxed feel. If between sizes, size up for a looser fit.
