6201.20.40.11 - Men's (434)

This HTS classification, 6201.20.40.11, specifically covers men's padded or sleeveless jackets that are considered windbreakers or similar protective outerwear. These garments are designed to offer protection from wind and light precipitation and may feature insulation for added warmth, while remaining sleeveless. The "other" designation at this level indicates that these items do not fall into more specific subcategories of padded or sleeveless windbreakers.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6201.20.40.21, is crucial as the sibling exclusively applies to *boys'* padded or sleeveless windbreakers. This means that the gender of the wearer is the primary differentiator at this sub-heading level. Both categories fall under the broader scope of men's or boys' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, which in turn are part of the larger group of non-knitted or crocheted outer garments.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6201.20.40.11 relies on confirming the item is a men's padded or sleeveless jacket, serves as windbreaker-type outerwear, and is not made of wool or fine animal hair (which would be classified under a preceding heading). The "other" at this final level signifies that it is not a more specifically defined type of men's padded or sleeveless windbreaker within this sub-group.
