JACKET/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. |

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:
Please note: The chest sizes shown assume that a person with that size chest is also wearing a shirt and jumper or light body-warmer beneath this jacket. Should the wearer not be so doing, a smaller size would be wiser.
See our technical notes page regarding Gore-Tex and sizes.
