Description

Another part of the British Army's Personal Clothing System that morphs excellently into civilian life.

This fellow is a fleece lined, anorak style mid layer. These are close fitting but could be worn with a thin base layer (such as a thermal top) underneath. These are so close fitting - especially around the chest/armpits - we recommend to size up for comfort (or aesthetic). These ''smocks'' have wind sealed zips all over (quite a few!) and aid in temperature regulation and function. The two slanted pockets are access points for one kangaroo style pocket (great for warming hands) and the mid-chest pocket adds more storage. Zips to the underarms and torso sides let in some fresh air if you are a bit too toasty. The whole interior is lined with fleece and the exterior is a thin ripstop nylon. A small emergency hood is stowable in the neck. Hook & loop adjustable waist and cuffs + a draw cord to the neck seal you up for extra toastiness. Like other pieces in the PCS family, these are ''light olive'' in colour and fall somewhere between khaki, coyote and olive, as well as having some slight colour variations in the jacket and zips. As surplus items, some may have marks or the odd ID written to the interior (see last image for an example). Nevertheless, these are a nice travel friendly, lightweight piece of surplus.

Punches above its weight

Just taken delivery and very pleased with this item. Would rate it almost "good as new" rather than "used very good" - whoever this was issued to looked after it ! It lacks the shine of a new garment and I could only find a tiny mark on one sleeve so no qualms about the appearance.
Definitely close fitting and good advice to go up a size if possible (I got the XL). The armpit and torso zips assist in donning/doffing the garment.
Surprisingly warm for such a thin garment (I think the outer shell boosts the effectiveness of the fleece lining) and have already used it on morning walks as an outer over a merino thermal top (still chilly here in SE Australia in spite of it being Spring). Should really come into its own as aneasliy packable mid-layer whuich is what it is designed for. Colour is compatible with most camo, but no rank slides/velcro patches mean it doesn't scream out "military surplus" in public settings.
Lastly I priced a new one of these from the UK at GBP 58.00/AUD 114.00 (freight to Australia not included) which makes this item very good value indeed.

Good quality kit

These are really good for the spring weather, great wind proof and stands up to passing showers. Quality waterproof zips everywhere to manage ventilation and the light fleece makes them like a light wind proof jersey to throw on with the added bonus of pockets. Definitely need to go a size bigger than you usually get. Mine was like new apart from a name on the label.
