Helikon-Tex Anorak Tracer PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Jacket IRR - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland

A tactical jacket with a loose fit in wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage, designed for women and men for use in forest terrain and everyday wear. The construction is made of PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric with IRR/NIR technology, which ensures high mechanical durability and reduced detectability under night vision. The model is equipped with 5 functional pockets arranged to work with a tactical vest or battle belt, a YKK half-zip main zipper and side zippers.

The main fabric with a grammage of 220 g/m2 is a blend of 50% polyester, 48% cotton and 2% elastane, providing optimal breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to make movement with accouterment easier. The Rip-Stop weave used increases the durability of the fabric structure and protects it from further tearing in the event of mechanical damage. The applied IRR/NIR technology (Near Infrared / Infrared Reflective) means that the material reflects and absorbs near-infrared radiation to a degree similar to the natural forest background, effectively reducing the contrast of the silhouette in night vision devices.

The model is equipped with 5 practical pockets:

• two shoulder pockets - closed with zippers, easily accessible also when wearing a tactical vest or backpack, intended for carrying small pieces of equipment,
• large front pocket - a spacious kangaroo-type main compartment equipped with three internal organiser pockets for arranging small accessories and an additional pocket located above it adapted for carrying e.g. a prismatic compass,
• pass-through pocket - located directly below the main compartment, fastened with two zippers on the sides, used to warm the hands during a stop or to carry gloves and a cap.

The design includes a roomy, fully helmet-compatible hood with 3-stage adjustment and a visor stiffened with foam, which protects the face from precipitation and wind without restricting the field of view. Full-length opening zippers are placed on the sides of the jacket, making it easier to put the garment on and take it off quickly while also serving as efficient side ventilation. The fit can be precisely adjusted to the body and insulating layers using waist adjustment, a drawstring at the bottom of the jacket and cuffs with drawstrings adjustable with velcro, while the elbow area is protected with additional fabric reinforcements.

The main fastening is a short half-zip zipper from the Japanese brand YKK, which allows efficient thermal regulation around the neck and easy access to equipment.

Velcro panels are placed on the shoulders for attaching identification emblems, formation patches or Morale Patches.

The wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced into widespread use in the Third Polish Repubic. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The color scheme, based on green, brown, and black, has been adapted to the conditions of Polish forests, making "Pantera" a good choice for operations in the native terrain. Uniforms in this camouflage pattern are also part of the basic equipment for students of Military Uniform Classes.
