Military jacket crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing while being both lighter and faster drying compared to garments made entirely of cotton. Featuring a Raid model design with raglan sleeves, the sleeves are integrated directly into the collar, eliminating conventional shoulder seams.
A button closure concealed by a flap secures the jacket, while functionality is enhanced by 8 ergonomically designed pockets:
- two chest pockets fastened with buttons,
- one pocket on each shoulder, secured with Velcro or button closure,
- two flat open compartments situated on the shoulder pockets,
- two internal mesh pockets, including one with a zipper and one open.
All pockets include attachment loops for securing gear to prevent loss during movement. Elbow areas incorporate special reinforcements using a double fabric layer, which also functions as a pocket for inserting foam protective pads. The sleeves' cuff width can be customized via Velcro adjustment.
Velcro hook-and-loop panels are positioned above the chest pockets and on the shoulder pockets and flaps, allowing for the attachment of various emblems such as national flags, unit insignia, or Morale Patches, giving the jacket personalized flair.

Desert Night Camo (DNC) is a specialized camouflage pattern created by the US Army during the 1980s for use in nighttime desert operations. Intended to be worn over other uniforms, DNC saw primary deployment throughout Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf. Featuring a grid pattern of dark green squares and crosses set against an olive-green base, its principal function focused on countering early models of enemy night vision equipment. While providing moderate effectiveness in reducing visibility through night vision devices, DNC represented a pioneering advancement in night camouflage technology.
