Goretex jacket, three layer laminate, in USMC woodland marpat camouflage. This jacket is an import model, and features full lining, shaped and lined hood with peak, long length sleeves which close with velcro, upper right arm pocket, double chunky zipper for central closing, deep baffle with press buttons down centre to cover the central zipper and prevent rain from entering, deep slash hip pockets on left and right, internal waist baffle to prevent rain from entering from the bottom and large velcro dump pouches left and right. The goretex jacket is patterned on the US ECWS layered clothing system and is designed for wear in both wet weather and wet snow conditions. The goretex jacket has a wider body to accommodate addition of fleece and other thermal mid-layers and the sleeves are longer to allow for wear of gloves with gauntlets and other protective clothing to be worn with the jacket and reduce the possibilty of draughts and damp getting into critical areas such as the wrist. Each arm has a long underarm zipper to allow for ventilation during activity. The hood does not detach, as the jacket is designed as an overlayer for wet weather. Sizes available are M and XL.
Available options are: M
XL

Detailed view of one of the dump pockets, opened. There is one of these on each side of the jacket. The pocket can be opened without disturbing the zipper, as the zipper lies closer to the body than the opening of the dump pocket.
