A protective outer layer that accommodates your carrier.
The three-layer membrane combines a 25,000 mm waterproof rating with 15,000 g/m²/24 h breathability. Side ventilation zippers let you regulate airflow as activity changes. The jacket’s layout keeps carried equipment accessible, with stabilization snaps and a main zipper designed for rapid doffing.
Room for your plate carrier and rear panel
The cut is optimized for wear over a plate carrier. The rear panel accommodates different carrier back panels underneath, while snaps at the upper chest and midsection stabilize the jacket during movement.
Four pockets, including two pass-through pockets
Two shoulder pockets and two front pockets provide the specified four-pocket layout. The two pass-through pockets give access to equipment carried on a combat shirt or inner layer.
Breakaway main zipper
The breakaway main zipper and garment construction support rapid doffing when required. The hood adjusts around a helmet with accessories such as hearing protection, battery packs or lights.
