6211.32.50 - Recreational performance outerwear

This HTS classification, 6211.32.50, specifically covers recreational performance outerwear for men or boys, when made of cotton. The term "recreational performance outerwear" denotes garments designed for athletic or outdoor activities, emphasizing functionality, comfort, and protection from the elements. Examples include specialized jackets, pants, or suits intended for sports like skiing, hiking, or cycling, which are not classified elsewhere under more specific headings within Chapter 62.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 6211.32.90 ("Other"), by its specific designation as "recreational performance outerwear." While the sibling category would encompass other cotton garments for men or boys that are not track suits, ski suits, swimwear, or specifically defined performance outerwear, this subcategory carves out a niche for specialized activewear. The "men's or boys'" designation further refines the scope, excluding similar garments for women or girls.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. These subcategories include washsuits, sunsuits, and similar one-piece apparel for boys, indicating that certain simpler, one-piece garments also fall under this broader heading if designed for recreational purposes. Additionally, specific types of track suits and jackets that are not classifiable under more specific headings (such as those for shirts or general jackets) are also detailed here, along with an "Other" subcategory to capture remaining relevant items.
