Notably, the jacket is complete in a captivating DPM Chine ripstop fabrication in a specifically created camouflage pattern throughout the entire design.
This blends a color palette of grayscale tones, red, and purple with a plethora of detailing that contributes to an utilitarian design aesthetics. Some of these components include the detachable funnel hood, the hand gaiters, stowable neck gaiter, straps found on the inside, and much more.
