Italian Army Goretex Jacket

Italian Army Goretex

This is the waterproof outer shell issued to the Italian Army, cut from Gore-Tex, a layered fabric that keeps rain out while still letting sweat escape. It wears over your base and insulation layers as the top of the system, the piece you reach for when the weather turns. The attached hood, high collar and generous cut suit field use, hiking and cold-wet days when you need to stay dry without boiling inside.

Features

• Gore-Tex Shell — The fabric blocks rain and wind from outside while venting body moisture, so you stay dry in wet weather without overheating.
• Vegetato Camouflage — Printed in the Italian Army's digital woodland pattern, a mix of green, brown and tan tones built for European terrain.
• Attached Hood — A roomy hood sits on the collar and tucks away when not needed, pulling up over a cap or helmet when the rain comes in.
• High Zip Collar — The tall collar fastens up to the chin to seal the neck against wind and driving rain.
• Cargo Pockets — Large bellows pockets at the front hold maps, gloves and kit, with flaps over the openings to keep water out.
• Sleeve Pocket — A flapped pocket on the upper arm carries small items within easy reach, marked with the Italian tricolour patch.
• Adjustable Cuffs — The cuffs cinch down to close the gap at the wrist and lock out drafts.
• Italian Issue — Genuine government-issued kit built to the Italian Army's own specification, not a copy made for the civilian market.

Issue And Build

Worn by the Italian Army as the foul-weather layer over combat uniform, this jacket pairs the Vegetato camouflage pattern with a Gore-Tex membrane for real waterproof protection. The construction is built for hard field service rather than appearance, which is exactly what makes genuine issue gear worth owning. It appeals to anyone who needs a dependable rain shell, as well as collectors and reenactors after authentic Italian military clothing.
