Overview
Built for cold conditions, this fleece jacket works well as an outer layer in cool weather or as insulation under a parka when temperatures drop. The high collar, full-zip front, elastic cuffs, and snug waist are designed to help limit drafts, while the side vents add a bit of ventilation when activity picks up. Two side pockets and hook-and-loop panels for optional patches add practical utility, and the machine-washable fleece keeps care simple. Because it is used military surplus, expect possible DRMO ink stamping and other signs of prior issue.

- The jacket includes hook-and-loop panels for flag or name patches, but patches are not included.
- Used surplus condition may include a DRMO ink stamp, so appearance can vary from piece to piece.
- Side vents, a full-zip front, and a high collar add versatility, but the fit and warmth level are fixed by the jacket’s existing design rather than adjustable insulation.
