Overview
Built for demanding outdoor use, this softshell jacket is suited to hunters and field users who need weather protection without giving up breathability during active movement. Its water-resistant 3-layer laminate shell and breathable membrane are paired with a polyester fleece lining for comfort in changing conditions, while the hidden hood adds coverage when the weather turns. A high collar, full zip front, waterproof zip pockets, reinforced elbows, adjustable cuffs, and adjustable hem round out a practical design for long days outside. Hook-and-loop patches also provide space for insignia or identification, making it a functional layer for organized field use.
