The nastier the weather is, the more you’ll appreciate the water

- and windproof protection provided by the Recon Shell Jacket. Every aspect of this jacket is focused on keeping elite operators, and their gear, at peak efficiency, regardless of the weather. The attached hood can be adjusted for girth and snugged around the face so it will swivel with your head instead of blocking your view of your surroundings. Waterproof zippers on the front closure, right forearm pocket and handwarmer pockets provide maximum protection from rain and snow. The zippered chest pocket has a storm flap and removable credential pull-out. Large two-way zippered side vents extend from the snaps at the hem to the upper arms. They also provide quick access to sidearms and other critical gear. Stretch cuffs with VELCRO® Brand adjustment tapes and two locking shock cords at the hem keep the outside out and the inside dry.

Robert F. ★★★★★

Took this out in a proper sideways downpour and stayed bone-dry the whole hike, the water just beaded right off the shell. The cuffs seal tight enough that I didn’t get a single drip down my wrists, which is more than I can say for my last rain jacket.

Elizabeth F. ★★★★★

Wore it through a solid day of sideways rain and wind, and stayed completely bone-dry underneath—the water- and windproof shell did exactly what it promised. The hood cinches down tight enough that nothing gets in even when the gusts pick up, which I wasn't expecting at this weight.

Jacob ★★★★★

The zippers and hood adjustments feel rock-solid, not cheap plastic that’ll snap in a month. Wore it through a freezing rain commute and stayed completely dry underneath, wind never cut through either.
