Level V: Soft Shell Jacket and Trousers

The jacket and trousers are designed for use in moderate to cold weather conditions as a soft shell layer combined with other base and insulative layers. The jacket and trousers provide light weight, low bulk and extreme comfort for movement.

Description of Item

The jacket features a two-way center-front zipper opening with a protective wind flap as well as an elastic cord in the bottom hem for adjustability. It is also constructed with a high collar containing a collapsible hood, Velcro closure sleeve pockets and two front zipper pockets, ventilation openings under the sleeves and Velcro fasteners to attach rank badges and name tags.

The trousers feature a zippered fly opening as well as two front and side pockets with Velcro fastener openings. The elastic waist has belt loops and provisions for suspenders as well as side-zipper openings for ease of donning over other layers.
