Description
Issued British Windproof
This is the British Army windproof combat jacket in DPM camouflage, a hooded outer layer that blocks wind on exposed ground and carries kit in four front pockets. It was British Army issue, built to service specification rather than a commercial pattern. Hunters, hikers, reenactors and collectors of British kit wear it for the same reason soldiers did: a tough shell that keeps the wind out without bulk.
Features
- DPM Woodland Camouflage — DPM, short for Disruptive Pattern Material, is the British four-color print of green, brown, sand and black, designed to break up your outline in temperate woodland.
- Cotton-Polyester Shell — The fabric blends cotton for comfort and quiet movement with polyester for strength and faster drying.
- Windproof Construction — The tightly woven outer layer is made to cut wind chill when worn over a shirt or fleece.
- Adjustable Fixed Hood — A full hood is sewn into the collar, and drawcords with toggles at the face opening let you cinch it down in bad weather.
- Four Flapped Front Pockets — Two chest pockets and two lower pockets close with button-down flaps that keep contents in place when you move.
- Two Vertical Chest Zips — A pair of zippered openings sits on either side of the main closure on the upper chest.
- Zip And Button Front — The front zipper is covered by a buttoned storm flap, a fabric strip that keeps wind from driving through the zip.
- Hook-And-Loop Cuffs — Tabs at each wrist tighten the sleeves to seal out drafts or loosen them for ventilation.
- Union Flag Sleeve Patch — A British flag patch on the upper left sleeve marks the jacket as UK military issue.
Original Issue Pattern
This jacket was made for the British Army in the DPM pattern that defined British field dress for decades, which makes it a sought-after piece for anyone building an accurate British kit. The cut is roomy enough to layer over a shirt or fleece, and the flapped pockets and hood suit field use as well as display. Because it is genuine government issue, you get the original fabric, hardware and layout rather than a commercial copy.

Nice!Got this for camping and hiking in the fall and its held up really well so far. The DPM camo pattern is the real deal, not some cheap knockoff. Windproof is no joke either, kept me warm on a pretty brutal windy ridge last weekend.

Authentic British jacket, windproof, shipped incredibly fastGot this jacket in like 2 days which was insanely fast. This is legit British Army issued gear that's still used by SAS soldiers today. The double YKK zipper front is really solid and the velcro storm flap keeps the wind out perfectly. The DPM woodland pattern looks awesome and the stowable hood is super convenient when you need it.

Great jacketI purchased one of these windproof smocks quite some time ago, and I can confidently say I have no regrets. As a jacket, it performs exceptionally well, keeping me warm during numerous occasions and preventing me from getting completely soaked in unpredictable weather. While it’s not technically waterproof, it has kept me dry nonetheless. The jacket features plenty of pockets, which can sometimes lead to me misplacing items as I forget which pocket I used. I suppose that’s more of a personal issue than a design flaw. The four torso cargo pockets are particularly spacious and equipped with large Canadian buttons, making them easily accessible even when wearing gloves. They also have bellows, allowing you to carry a good amount of weight without worrying about them breaking. Regarding the hood, it’s advertised with a wired brim, but mine didn’t come with one. However, having owned an earlier version that did, I find this one works just fine. I believe many British soldiers opted to remove the wired brim, which adds a bit of historical charm. To top it off, the jacket is in British DPM, which I find quite fashionable and effective in woodland environments. In fact, I’ve managed to hide from friends simply by lying down next to a bush along the footpath—though that might just be a testament to how oblivious my friends are! Overall, I can confidently say this jacket is my favorite, and I see many more years of use ahead. Whether for camping, day trips, or just commuting to school, this jacket gets the job done, and I’d recommend getting one without hesitation.

Great quality and price.Bought this along with the desert dpm smock, this smock is brand new and the fit was excellent. Ordered an XL and got a 180/104 that fit me perfectly (5'9" 46" chest). Will be recommending these to my friends.
Brand new. Fit is great.

New Windproof ParksSize as advertised - simplified from UK sizes. Appears new, but unused. Does not have any "long storage in damp warehouse" smell.
Rugged. Really wind resistant, but not windproof by Northern Illinois winter standards.
