Belgian Army Jigsaw Camo Waterproof Jacket

Belgian Jigsaw Rain Jacket

This waterproof jacket was issued to the Belgian Army and is printed in Belgium's jigsaw camouflage. It is built from Gore-Tex and cut long enough to cover the hips, so it keeps rain off your core while you stand, walk or sit in the field. Hikers, hunters, campers and collectors of European military kit all have a use for it.

Features

• Gore-Tex Construction — Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable membrane that blocks rain from outside and lets body moisture escape from inside.
• Belgian Jigsaw Camouflage — Interlocking shapes of green, brown, khaki and black, edged with fine white flecks, make up the pattern the Belgian forces are known for.
• Adjustable Hood — The attached hood has a grey lining and drawcords with toggles at the collar, so you can close it around your face in heavy weather.
• Snap-Fastened Storm Flap — A wide placket closed with metal snaps runs over the front opening to keep out wind-driven rain.
• Hook-And-Loop Cuff Tabs — Hook-and-loop tabs at each wrist (the same fastening as Velcro) tighten the cuffs over gloves or bare wrists to stop water running up the sleeve.
• Flapped Lower Pockets — Two front pockets sit under covering flaps that shed rain away from the contents.
• Hip-Length Cut — The long body and dropped shoulder seams leave room for a fleece or insulated layer underneath.
• Genuine Belgian Issue — This is original Belgian Army clothing made for military service, not a commercial camo jacket.

Issued Belgian Kit

The Belgian Army issued this jacket as its wet-weather outer layer, worn over field uniform and insulation in rain and wind. Military-contract Gore-Tex and the hood, storm flap and cuff tabs were all specified for soldiers who spend long hours outdoors. Collectors and reenactors value it because the jigsaw pattern is unique to Belgium, and outdoor users get a proper waterproof shell made to a service standard.
