French Army Nylon Raincoat

Great for the weathermans accuracy or usual lack there of!
Brand new, and will work if it is needed. Biggest challenge is to figure out how to fold it into the self contained zippered pocket. Stowed, it is 8"x12"x around an inch thick. Fantastic concept. Very well made thin lightweight raincoat in an accurate size large. Hood also stows into collar, back panel and arm pits are vented. Good enough to just leave in the truck.

I really like this raincoat. It folds up easily into a pouch that has a strap, so its always ready to be put in a backpack or car if the weather is uncertain. Folded up the dimensions of the XL are roughly 11.5 x 7.5 and the thickness compresses down easily to under 2 inches if you squeeze it in a backpack. It does a good job of keeping out water, and I feel like its pretty durable. The XL weighs in at 11.5 ounces. I find the XL fits great for me: I am 5' 11" and of average build. There's plenty of room underneath for additional clothing. The price is great too.

I just tested this jacket out in a FL afternoon thunderstorm and let me tell you it performed better than any civilian brand rain gear for the same price. Not a single drop of water got through. I stayed completely dry when couple with my rain pants. The fabric is tough as nails, and packs down thin and light! Draw string hem, draw string hood.
If you're a 42" chest I recommend getting the XL as it will give you extra room for a jacket underneath.
This is an amazing buy and worth every penny. Thanks for this great piece of gear keep shooting!

I was very surprised when I received the rain coat, so surprised in fact I promptly placed an order for three more. I am about 5'8 200# and usually wear everything in size large so I ordered one of these size "XL" because I like my rainwear to go over my normal clothing and fit loosely. I was surprised when that turned out to be true, as many times with surplus gear you never know what size is what. This fit like a rain coat should covering most of my behind and fitting comfortably over a regular "hoodie." I would say this is going to be a tight fit over a full size coat, which is fine for me because my heavy weight harsh weather gear is stand alone, as it should be. This is the prefect coat to throw in your GHB and bring along with your EDC gear. Great for the back seat of a car to. Best part about it is its pretty heavy duty. I have been looking for quality rain gear that I don't mind actually using and not worrying about for years. I have some good stuff, but one of my gortex hunting coats alone costs $50~$100 (on sale.) This thing only costs $13 plus shipping! Great for bushcraft, survival and every day use!
It has back vents, and small under arm vents. I very rarely right reviews on vendor sites but this one warrants it. Similar quality raincoats at your average main st box store or sporting good store will go for twice, if not three times as much.
Only fault I can find is the zipper is on the left hand side as with most euro gear.
