French army 'Gore-Tex' jacket in CCE camouflage pattern. This garment is awesome, and full of clever fitting and function additions. Used as an shell over-jacket, it adds a great waterproof layer on to top of warm garments worn beneath or even protective biking gear.

The front zip has a quick release facility so that when the zip slide is pulled right up to the top, it is possible to wrench the zip apart and separate it right down to the bottom and 'bug out' quickly.

Motorcyclists may be interested in the design being suitable for use over a military helmet too, and so there's extra capacity in the hood's volume to permit this. But of course, not everyone needs this extra capacity, and so there's an adjuster strap at the rear to prevent the hood covering the wearer's face, genius.

Very important note on size options.
These 'Gore-tex' jackets are designed to be a lightweightwaterproof and breathable outer layer (hard shell), to be worn over thermal layers so they are a generously cut to allow for layering and movement. So, the small size we offer is designed to be worn over multiple under layers by a person with about a 38 inch chest. The actual jacket is approximately 48 inches around the chest and so anyone with a chest up to approximately 44 inch would be able to wear it with a light shirt underneath only.
