Description
This is a raincoat made of MVP, Moisture Vapor Permeable, fabric that was used by the British Military. Similar to Gore-Tex found in US cold weather uniforms, as well as many civilian rain jackets, MVP allows for some breathability while remaining waterproof. This is crucial to minimize moisture buildup inside the jacket from sweat or water getting into the jacket through the openings. The jacket uses a 2 way zipper with 2 storm flaps for ventilation while still keeping water out. The sleeves can also be tightened down via hook and loop for maximum protection from rain and snow. Inside the collar is a stow away hood that is helmet compatible with drawstring adjustment to keep it tight to your head. Overall this is a great way to stay dry with some effective but unique camouflage.
