Every Great Plan Depends on a Solid Base

Whether you’re cool or stone cold, the Recon Base Jacket does its part to keep the Prepared Professional™ ready for action in a range of environments. Its streamlined design and lightweight construction takes advantage of an efficient barrier of PrimaLoft® insulation to hold chills at bay when it’s worn alone, and integrates into the RECON and Integrity Shell Jackets for additional protection from cold/wet weather. With its water- and stain-resistant nylon shell and quiet gusseted Polartec® Hardface stretch fleece side panels, the Recon Base Jacket won’t bind, restrict or announce your movements. Snug stretch cuffs seal body heat in and wind and drafts out. Dual zippered handwarmer pockets have a knuckle-side fleece lining to keep hands limber, enhancing operational readiness. An internal zippered chest pocket stores ID, documents and small EDC essentials close at hand. The zip-through polyester suede-lined collar puts the icing on the cake by effectively and comfortably sealing icy blasts on the outside.

George F. ★★★★★

Finally a jacket that doesn't feel like a garbage bag when you move in it—the cut is athletic without being tight, and the shell fabric has this soft, quiet hand feel that's rare for something this sturdy. I've worn it through a rainy commute and the water beaded right off the shoulders, which is ex

Riley K. ★★★★★

I’ve worn this jacket on a few cold morning commutes now, and the wind resistance through the chest panel is noticeably better than my old shell. The fabric moves with me when I reach for things, which I didn’t expect from something this structured. It’s quickly become the layer I grab without think

David ★★★★★

The shoulder articulation is what sold me—I can reach overhead without the whole jacket riding up, even with a light vest underneath. Took it out in steady rain for an hour and the outer shell just shrugged it off, no soaked-through feeling.
