I have been looking for a utilitarian soft shell jacket for a while now. But no one had one in stock which met my criteria. Kombat Tactical has been on my radar for a while, having used some little bits and bobs. After finding this jacket online, I was brought to Becketts website to find that it had it in the colour I wished for, olive green.
This item was a large back pocket for small flat equipment, handcuffs CATs etc, two large pockets Accor’s the abdomen region which are big, have small plastic lanyards in them for attaching keys etc and three pockets on the sleeves, with pen holders, theses are good for gloves etc. all pockets boast the ability to run wires through them, allowing you to place a radio in any pocket, and run your earpiece through the inside of the jacket. A very nice touch.
.
The jacket keeps you warm in low temperatures, and I mean very cozy, and cool when it’s a bit warmer thanks to its under arm zips, they don’t have any mesh, they are just open or close zips, which work well. No zips ever snag, and the main sip can be opened from both the bottom and the top, as well as zipping all the way up. It has a felt cover at the top to cover the zip and the integrated hood covers your whip head, allowing you to cover the bottom of your face in cold weather. The hood can be folded away, but I am yet it use this feature as it sits nicely behind you without getting in the way when sat in cars etc.
