The body is made from a blend of 92% cotton and 8% elastane, while the sleeves are made from Rip-Stop fabric containing 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The model is equipped with YKK zippers, 2 shoulder pockets, Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs, and pockets for elbow protectors.
Flexible body and Rip-Stop sleeves
The body is made from a blend of 92% cotton and 8% elastane, which increases the fabric's flexibility and freedom of movement. The sleeves are made from a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend in a Rip-Stop weave, increasing tear resistance and limiting the further spread of local damage.
2 shoulder pockets
The model is equipped with:
- 2 shoulder pockets closed with YKK zipper – designed for carrying small pieces of equipment.
Collar, adjustable cuffs, and protector pockets
The raised collar protects the neck, and the internal windproof strip along the zip helps reduce airflow. The cuffs are equipped with double adjustment using Velcro and an internal elastic panel, allowing the sleeve circumference to be adjusted. There are 2 reinforced protector pockets on the elbows, compatible with D5-EP3172 soft protectors.
YKK zip with cover
The main YKK zipper is equipped with an internal windproof strip and a slider cover when fully fastened. The reversed zippers used reduce protruding construction elements and increase wearing comfort.
Velcro panels
The model is equipped with 3 Velcro panels intended for attaching identification patches and markings. Two are located on the shoulders, and one on the chest.
Vegetato camouflage
Vegetato is an Italian military camouflage introduced at the beginning of the 21st century as the standard concealment pattern of the Italian Armed Forces. The pattern is based on irregular, multi-layered patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and earthy red. Vegetato, also known as mimetico Vegetata or Italian Woodland, was created as a modern alternative to older woodland-type patterns. Thanks to its rich palette and well-thought-out patch placement, this camouflage effectively breaks up the soldier's silhouette and works well in varied natural surroundings - especially in areas covered with low and medium vegetation. Due to its character and colour scheme, Vegetato adapts well to conditions found in many regions of Europe, covering both Mediterranean and temperate climates.

YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.
