A serious forest jacket for tough adventures – especially suitable for recon, scouts, and other self-sufficient travelers! The fabric of the Recon Smock is not windproof, as this jacket is designed for maximum breathability during high-tempo movement – however, its spacious cut also allows for the use of warm base and mid-layers as needed.

• Ventilation zippers and breathable materials – comfort even during more intense activities
• Abundant pocket space – plenty of storage and organizational possibilities
• Excellent adjustments for your body shape

Features

The Recon Smock features a two-way zipper closure with button flap at the front. Additionally, there are two-way ventilation zippers in the armpits to regulate heat. The jacket is also equipped with hook-and-loop patch panels for name tags, rank insignias, and sleeve patches.

Adjustments and Cut

• Generous fit, accommodating warm clothing underneath
• Adjustable hood compatible with helmets
• Shaped and Cordura-reinforced elbows with pad pockets (we recommend CPE inserts)
• Hook-and-loop adjustments at cuffs
• Wide elastic adjustment band at the waist and drawstring at the hem

Thanks to its spacious cut, plenty of warm clothing can be worn under the smock, even a lightweight protective vest, expanding its usability to various situations. Under the Recon Smock, you can fit, if necessary, for example, the Särmä TST L3 Thermal Jacket or a similarly sized Varusteleka Woolshell Jacket.

Twelve Pockets

The pocket arrangement is also essential for a smock. There should be plenty of them, large and small – in this jacket, you can carry your needs for 24 hours, such as food, water, lightweight shelter, first aid supplies, and so on. And this jacket has pockets aplenty:

• Two sleeve pockets with button and hook-and-loop closure
• Two button-flap chest pockets
• Two zippered chest pockets
• Two button-flap waist pockets
• Two zippered waist pockets
• One button-flap rear pocket divided into three compartments
• One zippered rear pocket

The sleeve pockets close with hook-and-loop and/or buttons: buttons are quiet and slow, hook-and-loop is quick and noisy. By covering the hook-and-loop fasteners, you can use only the buttons quietly. On the front of the jacket, there are four large button-closed pockets; these can accommodate larger items. Behind these large pockets are flat zipper pockets built into the jacket's lining; these also serve as ventilation openings!

At the back hem, there is a large button-closed pocket whose interior can be divided into three compartments with removable partitions; this can accommodate, for example, a tarp and warm clothing. Inside the back hem, there is also a zippered pocket built into the lining, opening at both ends with vertical zippers; this can accommodate even a larger map.

Wax your smock! The main fabric is not windproof or that waterproof either, but it's very breathable. For extra protection we recommend treating your smock with Varusteleka fabric wax, a very effective trick!
