Outdoor-Driven Design: Lightweight Flexibility, Mobility-First Fit, All-Round Protection
- Lightweight Softshell Construction: Made from a 99% nylon + 1% elastane blend, the jacket is light and slightly stretchy. Its relaxed cut enhances mobility and comfort—ideal for year-round wear, whether on its own or layered over mid-weight insulation.
- Purpose-Built Pocket Layout: Equipped with two main chest pockets featuring internal organizers—perfect for storing gloves, comms gear, or everyday items. Zippered pockets on both shoulders stay accessible even with a backpack, making it backpack-compatible. To reduce weight and improve comfort, waist and forearm pockets are intentionally omitted.
- Stowable Hood with Structured Brim: Features a concealed hood with an adjustable reinforced brim for added wind and rain protection. When not in use, the hood folds neatly into the collar, maintaining a clean silhouette.
- Extended Back Panel: The slightly elongated rear hem provides added coverage over the lower back and kidneys—ideal for cold conditions, extended periods of stillness, or nighttime temperatures.
- Detail-Driven Durability & Adjustability: Built with a full-length YKK® front zipper for smooth and reliable operation. Velcro-adjustable cuffs let you customize the sleeve fit, while reinforced elbows enhance durability during crawling, climbing, or rugged movement.
Trooper Mk2 is built with practical function at its core. Every element is purposefully designed to support active movement in diverse environments—ideal for year-round hiking, training in the field, and multi-terrain operations. It’s been reengineered for comfort, utility, and reliability outdoors.
