British Army MVP Woodland DPM Combat Jacket

British MVP Rain Jacket

This is the British Army's MVP waterproof combat jacket in Woodland DPM, the shell soldiers pulled on over their uniform when the weather turned. MVP stands for moisture vapour permeable: the fabric keeps rain out while letting sweat escape as vapor, so you stay drier from both sides on a long march. It suits hikers, hunters, campers and collectors of British kit who want a genuine issued rain layer in a classic pattern.

Features

• Woodland DPM Camouflage — Disruptive Pattern Material, the British four-color print of greens, brown, tan and black brushstrokes, breaks up your outline in temperate woodland.
• MVP Waterproof Breathable Fabric — The material blocks rain from outside while allowing body moisture to pass out as vapor, cutting down on clamminess during hard effort.
• Polyester Tri-Laminate Construction — Three layers are bonded into a single fabric, with the waterproof membrane protected between an outer face and an inner lining.
• Stowable Hood — The hood rolls away into the tall collar when not needed and deploys when the rain starts.
• Drawcord Hood Adjustment — Cord and toggles at the face opening let you cinch the hood snug so it moves with your head.
• Storm-Flapped Front Closure — A full-length flap covers the front zip to keep driving rain from working through the teeth.
• Adjustable Cuffs — Hook-and-loop tabs at each wrist close the sleeves tight against wind and water or open them up for ventilation.
• Long Cut — The jacket sits low over the hips to shed water past the waistband of trousers or a belt kit.

Issued Specification

Every jacket in this listing was made for and issued to the British Army, so the cut, fabric and hardware are the military's own specification rather than a commercial maker's version of it. The shell is sized to go over a combat shirt or a fleece, which makes it easy to layer as conditions change. For reenactors and collectors of British DPM kit, it is the authentic wet-weather outer layer that belongs with the rest of the uniform.
