This is a Desert MARPAT Combat jacket made specifically for use by the United States Marine Corps. It is a midweight water and wind resistant jacket tailored for wear while wearing body armor. The collar and parts of the sleeves feature grid fleece insulation, while the torso area of the jacket lacks insulation. To prevent overheating, there are moisture-wicking panels on the inside the pockets, meaning you can unzip the pockets for ventilation. There are pockets on each side of the waist, and one on the chest that allow for ventilation. There is an additional zippered pocket on one shoulder, but this does not contribute to ventilation. The shoulders and lower half of the back are a heavier duty waterproof material, while the rest of the jacket is made of stretchy water resistant material with the elbows reinforced for durability as well. The coyote sections along the inside of the arms allow for better ventilation and help prevent overheating, and are 4- way stretch to facilitate movement. Inside the collar is a neck gaiter to keep your neck and face warm during inclement weather without interfering with a helmet. This can easily be stowed when not in use. The cuffs are hook and loop, allowing you to tighten them down or loosen them up as needed. Cuffs occasionally vary, with some being an earlier version that is non adjustable and includes a thumbhole for wear.

This jacket is truly designed with kit use in mind, and offers a lot of versatility to keep you warm when static while allowing you to dump heat when moving and wearing kit, with special considerations to allow for optimal movement and articulation. Overall, this is a fantastic jacket for cold and slightly wet weather, especially when wearing kit.

**Due to the different materials used across the coat there is some variation in the shade of camo pattern! The thicker waterproof panels are darker while the breathable water resistant sections are lighter in color.
