French Gore-Tex Jacket
French army "Gore-Tex" jacket in CCE camouflage pattern. This garment is awesome, and full of clever fitting and function additions. Used as a shell over-jacket, it adds a great waterproof layer on to top of warm garments worn beneath or even protective biking gear.
The front zip has a quick release facility so that when the zip slide is pulled right up to the top, it is possible to wrench the zip apart and separate it right down to the bottom and 'bug out' quickly.
Motorcyclists may be interested in the design being suitable for use over a military helmet too, and so there's extra capacity in the hood's volume to permit this. But of course, not everyone needs this extra capacity, and so there's an adjuster strap at the rear to prevent the hood covering the wearer's face, genius.
Fantastic quality, genuine military waterproof jacket full of features including:
- In Unissued "new old stock" condition.
- Two waist pockets.
- Two vertical zipped chest map pockets.
- Quick-release zip-fastened front - with press stud storm flap. The zip is also 'two-way' and so allows access to under garments, or makes sitting down easier.
- Zipped under-arm vents to allow air to circulate and to help the wear to stay dry, even during heavy exercise.
- MVP hood is concealed within the collar when not needed and has an elasticated cord tightening system with sprung loaded locking dongles.
- High storm collar to protect the neck and lower face from the elements.
- Elasticated cord at the hem for retaining heat and a fitted look if desired, by use of sprung dongles.
- Velcro adjusted cuffs.
- Hood has capacity for helmet and a rear adjuster strap for when worn normally.
- Condition: new
