Direct Action Vanguard Access Insulation Jacket - MultiCam

Winter jacket in MultiCam camouflage providing insulation and protection from the cold even in very low temperatures. The Climashield Comfort Plus synthetic insulation used retains its properties even when wet, and the outer material increases the fabric's resistance to tearing. It will work well as an insulating layer during tactical operations, field exercises and work in low temperatures. The well-thought-out zipper design, adjustable elements and compatibility with a plate carrier allow you to benefit from thermal insulation without having to remove your basic equipment.

The jacket features filling made of lightweight Climashield Comfort Plus synthetic insulation with a grammage of 67 g/m2, which ensures thermal comfort even during severe frost. The insulation retains its properties even when wet and dries quickly. The outer material of the jacket is made of 100% nylon, which is resistant to damage and tearing.

The jacket is equipped with a total of 4 spacious pockets:

• two hip pockets
• two shoulder pockets

The jacket is equipped with a full-length front two-way zipper and side zippers that make it easier to put on and take off the garment without removing a tactical vest. The side zippers also provide access to equipment worn under the jacket. The pass-through pockets allow access to inner clothing pockets or elements of accouterment without unzipping the insulating layer.

The fit of the jacket can be adjusted using side panels and a waist strap fastened with a buckle. The adjustable hem helps reduce heat loss and adapt the garment to the body shape and other clothing layers. This solution makes it easier to adapt the jacket to the way accouterment is worn and to current conditions of use. The model is also equipped with an adjustable hood made of membrane fabric. Its construction has been adapted for use with a helmet and additional equipment. When the hood is not needed, it can be rolled up and stowed in the collar, which helps reduce its bulk and makes it easier to use the jacket without headgear.

Velcro panels are sewn onto the shoulders, allowing the attachment of any emblems, such as a national flag, unit insignia, so-called Morale Patches or an IR patch.

MultiCam is a modern camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by the American company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior programme. Its purpose was to create a universal camouflage pattern effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions.

The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colours, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. Thanks to this, it dynamically adapts to the background, taking on green shades in forest terrain or browns and beiges in desert areas - in the environment of Central and Eastern Europe it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained recognition worldwide and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). This pattern is also available to civilian users, which makes it a popular choice among militaria and airsoft enthusiasts.
