The Tactical Softie Smock military jacket from the renowned British manufacturer, Snugpak, is also versatile thanks to its side vents allowing quick and flexible access to the pistol holster and other equipment attached to the tactical belt. And what's more, it's still manufactured directly in Great Britain.
You can access your equipment on the belt with side ventilation zippers from the Japanese YKK brand. In addition, these zippers can be opened from above or below to regulate ventilation. Regulation can also be done with a central zipper, extending to a quarter of the length of the jacket (again from YKK). From the same manufacturer, there is also a zipper on the large chest pocket, fitted with a distinctive strip of Velcro.
However, the essential purpose of any jacket is protection from the cold, which the Snugpak Tactical Softie Smock jacket manages perfectly. And that's thanks, among other things, to the TS1 suede lining, which is high-performance, textured and also perfectly wicks sweat and condensed moisture away from the body. As insulation, the jacket uses the exclusive proprietary Softie Premier material that Snugpak originally developed for its sleeping bags.
The Tactical Softie Smock jacket is equipped with a spacious front pocket with a zipper, in which you can put both hands and warm them together. A higher level of warmth and comfort is ensured by the TS1 lining, which you can also find in this pocket. Better insulation is also ensured by elastic sleeve cuffs with finger loops or elastic hems around the neck and bottom, with which you can again regulate ventilation and insulation.
Paratex Micro is used as the outer material of this jacket, which has an excellent level of moisture transfer and thus keeps you dry even during demanding movements. Also worth mentioning are the velcro panels on the sleeves, where you can attach your unit or name badge.
