Chest sizesJACKET/PARKA/TUNICCHEST CIRCUMFERENCE OF GARMENT As these garments are usually worn with a shirt or jumper underneath, we measure each garment and take 2 inches (5cm) off to define a chest size that will comfortably fit. p-p means pit to pit - i.e. the garment is laid flat and we measure across the armpits and double that distance for full circumference. |

Why is our system different?Because military garment sizing and labelling varies wildly from country to country, we have gone back to basics and after measuring each garment, we provide the chest size and height of a person that the garment will be suitable for. So, simply measure yourself and look for that size in the options available in any of our products. |

This British army Gore-Tex over-jacket is genuine UK military surplus so you can be sure you are getting top quality at a great price. This waterproof jacket is made from Gore-Tex material which allows sweat in the form of water vapour to escape while keeping rain and wind out. This breathable design lets the wearer stay very dry and comfortable, as sweat tends to collect on the inside of non breathable jackets, especially when doing moderate exercise. The jacket comes in British army woodland DPM camo, a very popular pattern in fishing and hunting circles due to its excellent performance.
Features:
Important Sizing Note: These jackets are designed to be worn as an outer hard shell over thermal layers, the "fits up to chest size" shown refers to the measured chest size around the clothing being worn underneath i.e. whilst wearing several additional under layers.
We also state the physical circumference of the chest of these jackets as well, so if you'd not be wearing lots of sub-layers, choose a suitable garment measurement. The jacket is single skinned and does not have a liner, this means they remain very lightweight and can be packed down to a small practical size.
See our technical notes page regarding Gore-Tex and sizes.
