Description
French Issue Rain Shell
This is a genuine French Army nylon raincoat, a lightweight hooded shell made to go over a uniform or field jacket when the weather turns wet. It is cut long, past the hips, with a roomy body so it layers easily over bulkier clothing. Hunters, hikers, campers and surplus collectors all have good reason to keep one in a pack or vehicle.
Features
- Nylon Outer Shell — The light, smooth nylon face sheds rain and wind without the weight of a heavy rubberized coat.
- Coated Inner Face — The inside of the shell has a smooth, glossy coated finish that adds to its weather resistance.
- Mesh Upper Back Lining — A panel of open mesh lines the upper back and shoulders to keep the coated fabric off your clothing.
- Attached Hood — A full hood with a drawcord pulls up over the head when the rain gets heavy.
- Zip Front With Storm Flap — The front zipper sits behind a snap-closed placket, a cover strip that keeps rain from driving through the zip.
- Vented Back Yoke — A flap across the upper back covers a vent so air can move out of the coat while rain is kept off.
- Elastic Cuffs — Gathered elastic at each wrist seals out wind and water around gloves or bare hands.
- Drawcord Hem — A cord with a toggle at the bottom hem cinches the coat closed against wind blowing up underneath.
- Zipped Front Openings — Zippered openings on the front panels give access through the shell, with a webbing strap and side-release buckle fitted inside.
- OD Green Color — Olive drab, the standard military green, blends with field gear and outdoor surroundings.
Authentic Army Issue
This raincoat was issued to the French military, so it was built to an army specification for troops working outdoors rather than to a fashion brand's idea of military style. The long cut, hood and storm flap are practical choices meant to cover a soldier and his kit. For collectors and reenactors, it is a real piece of French kit with genuine provenance.

Love this hooded rain jacketWore it fishing last weekend and stayed bone dry the whole time. Simple and tough like army gear should be. Only wish the pockets were deeper.
Lightweight and packable
Pockets could be bigger
