A very comfortable jacket, or maybe more of a sweatshirt. On warmer days, it's definitely too warm, so it's worth having a thin windstopper. Maskpol should rethink their sizing because the sleeves are too short.

Maskpol Softshell SM-01 Jacket - MAPA
A modern tactical jacket made of Softshell fabric with inserts of MAPA camouflage uniform fabric. The SM-01 jacket is perfect for survival, hiking, airsoft, and recreational outdoor activities. Although designed for the civilian market, it will also be appreciated by professionals in uniformed services. Thanks to its multi-layered construction, the jacket not only effectively protects against wind and rain but also eliminates the need for additional insulated clothing.
Durable polyester laminate, PTFE teflon membrane, Rip-Stop weave
The Softshell is crafted using a three-layer polyester laminate composed of:
- an external, weather-resistant, impregnated knit fabric
- a central PTFE teflon membrane
- an internal insulating fleece layer
Areas such as the elbows, shoulders, and drawstring tunnel are reinforced with US-23 military-grade material — a robust 50/50 blend of soft cotton and polyester. The inclusion of Rip-Stop weaving ensures the fabric remains exceptionally durable and highly resistant to abrasion and tearing.
3 practical pockets
The jacket features 3 practical pockets. Two spacious side pockets and a smaller chest pocket, all with zippers. The inside of all pockets is lined with breathable mesh fabric.
cuffs with elastic trim, drawstring with stopper
Sleeve ends feature elastic trim, while the bottom hem is fitted with an elastic drawstring and stopper, enabling width adjustment for a customized fit and effective protection against wind penetration.
Zipper
Secured with a durable one-way zipper, the design features a closure that extends into a high collar equipped with chin protection. Enhanced ventilation openings under the arms provide superior thermal regulation.
velcro panels
Two large Velcro panels have been sewn onto the sleeves, allowing you to attach any emblems, such as insignia, a national flag, a unit emblem, or so-called morale patches. There is a Velcro patch for a name tag on the right chest.

MAPA camouflage
MAPA camouflage pattern was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and current research fellow at the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, and author of, among other works, Theory of Deconstruction of Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdańsk 2015). This innovative design, backed by compelling theoretical and empirical arguments, including a computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, has caught the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as the camouflage pattern for the Dromader accouterments and uniform system by Maskpol, a company part of the Polish Armaments Group. The system was designed for Territorial Defense Force soldiers, but the MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a prospective pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage has not yet been adopted as the official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army.
Main features of the MAPA camouflage in its basic forest variant:
- 6 colors forming layers resembling contour lines on a map
- colors optimized for operations in Central European forests
- use of three-dimensional illusions and anamorphic effects
- biomorphic shapes making the pattern resemble vegetation
- high-contrast elements imitating flashes of light and shadows
- deformation of the camouflaged silhouette using a macro-pattern
- color noise recreated using a micro-pattern
The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn, and the Finnish M/05. In some respects, it is more advanced than these, and it also better replicates the colors found in Central European forests from late spring to early fall.

Perfect for autumn's cold winds. Because it is not drafty, you don't get cold in it. In winter, if you add a fleece, it is also comfortable. It's great that you can buy it in MAPA :)
-
A very well-made softshell jacket. I have been using it for some time and I am very satisfied. The jacket is very warm. The MAPA camouflage looks much better in real life than in the photos. I recommend it.
-
Overall, the jacket, or rather the sweatshirt, is flawlessly made. Good material and nice camouflage. It's quite thin, so on colder days it's good to have a warm fleece underneath. One star less for too few pockets (in my opinion). For me, pockets on the shoulders and at least one on the forearm would be useful. I think it would also improve its appearance.
-
Very nice jacket. It's perfect for autumn and winter. It protects well against the wind. There's just a problem with the sizing, because they are a bit smaller than expected.
-
It's more of a sweatshirt than a jacket, excellently crafted, I took a size smaller than I usually wear and it fits perfectly. If it were cheaper, I would buy two—a smaller one as a sweatshirt and a larger one as a jacket to wear something thicker underneath, but unfortunately, I can't afford to buy two of these sweatshirts.
-
Perfect for winter with a hoodie and thermal shirt. It's just a shame that the jacket isn't fully camouflaged.
-
Nice camouflage, the jacket is warm, but I would rather call it a fleece. I recommend size XS, which fits 158cm.
-
It's hard to call it a jacket or softshell; I would rather say it is a fleece. As for the size S, it's a bit too wide, but the sleeves are fine. It's comfortable and nice to run in, so I recommend it.
-
The jacket is fantastic. Warm and breathable. Ventilation openings under the armpits. Nice color and camouflage. The size is correct. Velcro on the shoulders for patches. I recommend it.

Whenever I ordered clothing products from Maskpol, I was worried that I would not choose the right size. When reading the provided charts, you get the impression that the clothes are too tight for the given size... and here I want to reassure future buyers. Example: I ordered this jacket in size M. The chart shows 100 under the arms, but in reality it's about 112, so there's a little room. Just perfect for comfortable wearing with a 100cm chest circumference.
